"I don't get no respect. Three of my coins have never appeared at Coin Talk! And look at that Uberitas -- last time I saw a face like that it was in a haunted house!" That's right! The handy-dandy search bar shows nobody has ever thought these issues worthy of display. Trebonianus Gallus's coins of Antioch have a number of distinguishing features. First, they include the abbreviation P F (Pius Felix) in the obverse inscription. Second, they include a series of dots or Roman numerals to designate the officina in which they were struck and these are present both on the obverse (below the bust) and on the reverse (in the exergue). They also come in a couple of different bust types, either draped and cuirassed (more common) or simply cuirassed (scarce). Post your coins of Trebonianus Gallus or anything you feel is relevant.

3 fun coins with good portraits and excellent reverses! T-bone!!! Haha! Here's mine (and boy do I need to give him a bath and another Pic!): Trebonianus Gallus (251-253). AR Antoninianus(20mm, 2.8g, 12h). Rome, 251-2. Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust r. R/ Pietas standing l., raising both hands. RIC IV 41; RSC 84.
Here's one. Not much to look at. Pax reverse RIC86. Trebonianus Gallus by jorglueke posted May 4, 2019 at 9:25 PM Trebonianus Gallus by jorglueke posted May 4, 2019 at 9:26 PM
a few of his bronzes. I believe he was born in Perugia , a beautiful Umbrian hilltop town in the center of Italy.
Nice coin! Interesting because the obverse has an officina dot (or two?) below the bust on the obverse but not in the exergue on the reverse. Wow! Just wow! Amazing examples of the type. In ERIC II, @Suarez writes, "Bronze examples ... often range from the eyesore to the barely collectible." One rare sees Trebonianus Gallus bronzes in such a well-preserved state.
Mine is from Milan: Silver Double Denarius Milan mint Obv: IMP C C TREB GALLVS AVG Rev: PAX AETERNA - Pax, standing left, holding branch and traverse scepter RIC 71 22mm, 3.8g.
Nice coins all. My only T-bone hails from the Rome mint. But here is a Volusian sestertius. Typical for the time, the flan is squared off.
This coin has an interesting link to American "liberty" - more on that here Trebonianus Gallus, AD 252-253, AR Antoninianus Rome Obv: IMP C C VIB TREB GALLVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right Rev: LIBERTAS PVBLICA, libertas standing left, holding pileus (a soft felt cap worn by liberated slaves of Troy and Asia Minor) and scepter Size: 4.03g, 21.4mm Ref: RIC 70
Mine, like jorglueke's, lacks the dots on the reverse (which means it counts as flyspeck unlisted in RIC). I think it's also undraped (?) something I hadn't noticed before. Or maybe the drapery is just so crudely rendered as to be unrecognizable. RIC 89var. T-bone also briefly struck coins for Hostilian as Augustus at Antioch. This type never has dots on the reverse as far as I know: RIC 205b (R)

T BONE! This is a not so hot pic of of a not so hot coin. Trebonianus Gallus, Antoninianus, 251-253 A.D. O: IMP C C VIB TREB GALLVS AVG, R: IVNO MARTIALIS, Juno seated left, stalks of grain in right hand, long scepter in left, RIC IV 46 , Mediolanum mint, 22 mm, 3.3 g
Just found this post! Here is my newly (as of today) acquired 5$ Trebonianus Gallus! Sorry for the poor photos, this one was really hard to shoot, and equally hard to identify! Paid a total of 5.50$ for it as an unidentified silver, the images made this coin appear smaller then a dime, but in hand it was much larger as you would imagine. Not sure if this is the exact coin I bought now...but anyways Trebonianus Gallus, AR Antoninianus, Antioch. 251-253 AD. Obv: IMP C C VIB TREB GALLVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right, three dots beneath bust. Rev: AEQVITAS AVG, Aequitas standing left, holding scales and cornucopiae. Three dots in ex. Ref: RIC IV-3, 80; RSC 8. Figured id share my poor quality silver! Hope you enjoy.
