    @Roman Collector, I wanted an excuse to post my latest addition and my first Trebonianus Gallus imperial coin. Quite a coincidence since the coin arrived 30 minutes ago.

    upload_2022-4-29_11-48-47.png

    Trebonianus Gallus AD 251-253. Rome
    Antoninianus AR
    21 mm, 3,77 g
    IMP C C VIB TREB GALLVS AVG, bust of Trebonianus Gallus, radiate, draped, cuirassed, right / LIBERTAS PVBLICA, Libertas, draped, standing left, holding pileus in right hand and transverse sceptre in left hand
    RIC IV Trebonianus Gallus 70; RSC 68

    Next - another antoninianus after 250 AD, in good VF condition or better
    (I know my coin is not an extraordinary one condition wise, but I am always happy to add decently preserved coins even if this is not a major criteria for me)

    Next - another reverse with someone riding an animal different than a horse.
    I know this request might seem odd and a good candidate for a 12 h rule, but I already have some different coins in mind and they are not extremely uncommon.
