Commentary
Poids lourd. Rubans de type 3. Cuirasse lisse pointée. C’est la première fois que nous proposons un antoninien de ce type à la vente qui semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Heavyweight. Type 3 ribbons. Smooth pointed cuirass. This is the first time we have offered an antoninianus of this type for sale, which seems rarer than general 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.
