<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 4939228, member: 75937&quot;]Trebonianus Gallus was underrated. Yes, his short reign was absorbed by war with both the Goths and Persians, and with the devastation caused by plague. Nonetheless, he appears to have been a just and humane ruler who treated Decius’ descendants with unprecedented consideration. His coinage displays a consistent appeal for peace and fairness. He was dealt a bad hand -- a two-front war and a pandemic -- and no ruler could have done a better job, I don&#039;t think.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/trebonianus-gallus-martem-propvgnatorem-antioch-antoninianus-jpg.1002420/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Trebonianus Gallus, AD 251-253.</p><p>Roman AR antoninianus, 3.58 g, 20.7 mm, 5 h.</p><p>Antioch, 3rd issue, AD 253-253.</p><p>Obv: IMP C C VIB TREB GALLVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust, right.</p><p>Rev: MARTEM PROPVGNATOREM, Mars advancing right, carrying transverse spear and shield.</p><p>Refs: RIC 84; RSC 70; RCV 9637; Hunter 59.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next: Mars advancing right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
