Commentary
Le MIR. cite un exemplaire de ce type (383d) mais la monnaie reprise sur les planches est un 382d, sans marque dans le champ au revers. L’exemplaire noté en 383d est donc une erreur et notre type est bien un inédit avec ce buste exceptionnel !.
The MIR. cites a example of this type (383d) but the coin shown on the plates is a 382d, without a mark in the field on the reverse. The example noted as 383d is therefore an error and our type is indeed an unpublished one with this exceptional bust!

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.
