Commentary
Rubans de type 3. Buste très rare dans le monnayage de Gallien. Ce type semble être une variante du type de revers sans les lettres S-I dans le champ pour l’atelier de Siscia. Semble complètement inédit et non recensé. Est à rapprocher des antoniniens de la troisième émission de l’atelier.
Type 3 ribbons. A very rare bust in the Gallienus coinage. This type appears to be a variant of the reverse type without the letters SI in the field for the Siscia mint. Appears to be completely unpublished and unrecorded. It is similar to the antoninians of the third issue of the mint.

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.
