Commentary
Poids très léger. Type inhabituel. Précédemment, le monnayage de ce monarque était attribué à Rhescuporis IV. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux associant les bustes de Valérien Ier et de Gallien alors que le premier est mort prisonnier des Sassanides.
Very light weight. Unusual type. Previously, the coinage of this monarch was attributed to Rhescuporis IV. This type seems rarer than the general works associating the busts of Valerian I and Gallienus suggest, even though the former died a prisoner of the Sassanids.
