<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 4580639, member: 82549&quot;]What a shame. Such a pretty obverse, and such a crummy reverse. Someone needed to tell the slaves stamping this coin that they needed to get a new reverse die. What&#039;s the point of boasting about your victory over the Germans on your coins if no one can see or read it?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1134489[/ATTACH]</p><p>Gallienus (joint reign)</p><p>AR double denarius</p><p>Lugdunum mint, A.D. 258-259</p><p>RIC 49</p><p>Obv: GALLIENVS P F AVG</p><p>Rev: VICT GE-RMANICA - Victory advancing right over globe between two captives (Use your imagination.)</p><p>21 mm, 3.1g</p><p><br /></p><p>But my real question: Should the obverse legend be recorded as GALLIENVS [dot] P [dot] F [dot] AVG? Or maybe GALLIENVS - P - F - AVG? It looks like the little dashes were intentional rather than just an artifact of preservation or die flaw.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
