| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Demos personified, facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of the Lydian mint at Tralles. The legend ΙΕΡΟϹ ΔΗΜΟϹ encircles the effigy, identifying the figure as the sacred personification of the people. The drapery is rendered with detail across the shoulder, and the laureate wreath is visible atop the head. The portrait displays the stylistic conventions of mid-third century Asiatic provincial coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tralles, a prosperous city in the Maeander valley, maintained active civic bronze coinage well into the third century, using joint imperial titulature as a form of political alignment with whoever held power in Rome. The pairing of Valerian and Gallienus as co-emperors — father and son ruling simultaneously after 253 — gave provincial mints a narrow window in which dual-portrait civic issues were appropriate, closed abruptly when Valerian was captured by Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa in 260, the only Roman emperor ever taken prisoner in battle.
