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.
