Commentary
Poids très léger. Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié pour ce type avec la marque de la quatrième officine (IV) au lieu de de la sixième normalement (VI), certainement du à une inversion du graveur. De la plus grande rareté. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés.
Very light weight. With all its surface silvering. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Appears to be completely unpublished and not listed for this type with the mark of the fourth workshop (IV) instead of the normal sixth (VI), certainly due to an inversion by the engraver. Extremely rare. Missing from all consulted works

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.
