Commentary
Poids léger. Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 1 aux extrémités bouletées. Un globule sous le buste. Semble complètement inédit et non recensé. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés. Le buste fait penser à certaines émissions de Siscia.
Lightweight. With all of its surface silvering. Type 1 ribbons with pelleted ends. A globule under the bust. Seems completely new and unrecorded. Missing from all the works consulted. The bust is reminiscent of certain Siscia shows

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.
