Commentary
Revers tout à fait spectaculaire. C’est le quatrième exemplaire répertorié d’après les travaux de Göbl. Ce type, déjà connu de Cohen n’avait pas été repris par les auteurs du RIC.
A truly spectacular reverse. This is the fourth example recorded according to Göbl's work. This type, already known to Cohen, had not been included by the authors of the RIC.

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.
