Commentary
Rubans de type 1 aux extrémités bouletées. C’est la première fois que nous proposons cette association avec cette rare légende au droit ! Semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent suggérer les ouvrages de référence.
Type 1 ribbons with pelleted ends. This is the first time we have offered this combination with this rare legend on the obverse! Seems much rarer than the reference works suggest.

Historical background
GALLIENUS
(07/253-08 or 09/268)
Augustus with Valerian I
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 Postumus, who first eliminated Salonin, 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 revolted.
