Commentary
Poids très léger. Rubans de type 3. Les 19 exemplaires recensés dans le trésor de Cunetio sont à nuancer, les rubans n’étant pas différenciés. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce rare type à la vente !.
Very light weight. Type 3 ribbons. The 19 examples recorded in the Cunetio treasure are nuanced, as the ribbons are not differentiated. This is the first time we have offered this rare type for sale!

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.
