Æ39 - Valerian and Gallienus ΤΗΜΕΝΟΘΥΡΕΩΝ ΚΕ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗΝΩΝ / ΟΜΟ/ΝΟΙΑ / ΚΛΕΟΒΟΥΛΟϹ / ΑΡΧΩΝ

Temenothyrae was a minor Lydian city whose coins almost never circulated beyond the immediate region — which explains why bronze provincials of this size survive in such varied condition. The joint legend pairing Temenothyrae with the Sebastenoi reflects a formal civic union, or homonoia, between two neighboring communities, a diplomatic arrangement common in Asia Minor but rarely documented in the literary record. The magistrate name Kleobulos inscribed on this issue anchors it to a specific administrative moment that no other source preserves.
