[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 5459541, member: 80783"]The average weight of Gallienus´ sole reign Sestertii is 15 g (sample of 25 specimens ranging from 7,38 to 24,40 g). The average weight of his sole reign double Sestertii is 19 g (sample of 5 specimens ranging from 14,80 to 23,53 g). Both denominations were discontinued after 262 AD. There seems to have been no regular production of Asses and Dupondii during Gallienus´ sole reign. The INT URB coins that Gallienus issued at the end of his reign have an average weight of 16 gr (sample of 25 specimens ranging from 9,21 to 28,67 gr). The extreme variation of weights in all of these types resulted in the practice of counting them "al marco" and not "al pezzo". Each of the three large bronze types of Gallienus´sole reign dircussed above (which did not circulate long due to their material value being a multiple of that of a debased Antoninianus) is in itself rarer than the reduced Sestertii of Aurelian.[/QUOTE]
