| Additional information |
Hadrianopolis in Phrygia — not to be confused with the better-known Thracian city — was a minor civic mint whose output under Trebonianus Gallus was modest and is poorly documented in modern corpora. The magistrate name ΚΛΕΑΡΧΟΥ appearing in the legend identifies this as a civic bronze issued under a local strategos, the annually appointed official whose name authenticated provincial coinage in lieu of any imperial mint authority.
Trebonianus Gallus came to power after Decius and his son Herennius Etruscus were killed fighting the Goths at Abrittus in 251 — the first Roman emperor to die in battle against a foreign enemy.
