Description: Valerian I and Gallienus | Kyme, Aeolis | AE18 Reference: RPC X 59775, SNG von Aulock 1650, BMC 120 Date: 253-260 CE Obverse: ΚΥΜΗ; turreted and draped bust of Tyche of Kyme, right, seen from front Reverse: ΚΥΜΑΙΩΝ; Tyche standing left, holding rudder and cornucopia Mint: Kyme, Aeolis Size: 18.4 mm Weight: 2.81 grams A scarcer issue of provincial bronze coinage issued on the western coast of Anatolia within 20 years of the end of the series. By the 250s, the imperial monetary crisis had heavily debased the "silver" coinage making bronze token coinage obsolete. By the time that this coin was struck, the once ubiquitous production of Roman provincial bronze coins had been essentially reduced to a handful of mints in Anatolia and Egypt. By the mid-280s CE, Diocletian would eliminate the last remaining provincial mint at Alexandria, ending the mintage Roman Provincials.
