[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 7893887, member: 75143"]I love Gallienus. I have over 50 coins of the guy, and I keep getting more. Here are a few of my more unusual ones: Reverse legend "VICTORIAE AVG GERM IT" is apparently a bit more unusual than most. [ATTACH=full]1362475[/ATTACH] Neptune doesn't show up too often with any ruler (except Agrippa), and dated coins of Gallienus are not very common either. We also don't see exergued ants very often. [ATTACH=full]1362476[/ATTACH] Plenty of DIANAE reverses, but a lot less of the, have the actual goddess. [ATTACH=full]1362477[/ATTACH] Apollo is another rather unusual deity to show up on any emperor. [ATTACH=full]1362478[/ATTACH] Standing Fortuna is common; seated is much less so. [ATTACH=full]1362479[/ATTACH] And this last one is just probably my prettiest one overall, with a rather fine patina and nearly as-struck. [ATTACH=full]1362480[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
