<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 7930779, member: 84905&quot;]Here is a comparison of the faces of Trebonianus Gallus and Valerian. On the left is Trebonianus Gallus (supposedly Rome) and on the right is Valerian I (Viminacium). The comparison and the super-imposition below (I aligned the eyes) show considerable similarities, which I think suggest that the same die engraver was at work, meaning that the Trebonianus Gallus was minted at Viminacium. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1371256[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the same exercise with parts of the legend.
