    Today I received this coin of a type I am not familiar with. 1 example on Wildwinds and unable to see any on AC Search. Any info you might have and share will be greatly appreciated. It is a coin I chose because I had up to this point no temple style coins in my collection.
    GALLIENUS AR Antoninianus. 259-260 Lugdunum mint.
    Gallienus AR Billon Antoninianus. GALLIENVS (dot) P (dot) F (dot) AVG, radiate, cuirassed bust right / DEO MARTI, tetrastyle temple with Mars standing left within, left hand holding inverse spear and resting right hand on shield. RIC 10 var (dots in legend). Goebl 889g. Elmer 85; RSC 149; Cohen 615. Sear5 10195. 2,2 g - 21 mm

    DEO MARTI type is part of a series of temple coinage—DEO VOLKANO, for Vulcan, issued in the name of Valerian and DEAE SEGETIAE (the goddess Segetia protected crops after they had sprouted) issued in the name of Salonina.

    Examples that I have sold--
