<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 7906578, member: 87200"]Very cool. I did not know about the Gallienus victory series celebrating his victories over members of the so-called "30 Tyrants" of the Historia Augusta. It's probably an opportune time to revise our perception of Gallienus. Regarded as a lazy hedonist by Gibbon, he did manage to repel several invasions and eliminate usurpers over the course of his 15-year reign. This was the longest reign of the third century outside of Septimius Severus' 18 years (whose reign actually started in the 2nd century). The fact that he ruled for so long indicates rather some capability in his role as emperor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
