Commentary
Poids très lourd. Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 1 aux extrémités bouletées. Émission dite du "bestiaire". Césure inhabituelle pour la légende de droit. Un des revers les plus rares de l’émission.
Very heavyweight. With all its surface silvering. Type 1 ribbons with rounded ends. So-called \\\"bestiary\\\" issue. Unusual caesura for the obverse legend. One of the rarest reverses of the issue.

Historical background
GALLIENUS
(07/253-08 or 09/268)
Augustus
Gallien, the son of Valérien I, was born in 218. He was immediately associated by his father with power and was in charge of the West, while his father went to the East. He won a brilliant victory over the Germans and consolidated the Rheno-Danubian limes. After the capture of Valérien in the East, Gallien must face on all fronts. The empire breaks up. Gaul, Spain, Germania and Brittany secede with Postum who first eliminated Salonin, the son of Gallien. It is the usurpation of Macrianus and Quietus in the East. Gallien will spend the last eight years of his life trying to put the pieces of this empire back together. Finally, he was assassinated in September 268 under the walls of Milan while besieging Aureolus, the master of the Cavalry, who had revolted.
