Commentary
Poids lourd. Sans son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3. Cuirasse lisse. Ce type semble en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Il existe plusieurs variétés pour ce type de revers avec de nombreuses variantes de bustes. En revanche la forme complète DECENNALIBVS semble plus courante que la forme abrégée DECENNALIB.
Heavyweight. Without its surface silver plating. Type 3 ribbons. Smooth cuirass. This type actually seems much rarer than general works suggest. There are several varieties for this type of reverse with many bust variations. On the other hand, the full form DECENNALIBVS seems more common than the abbreviated form DECENNALIB

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.
