    Gallienus looks like he's ready to start singing doo-wop music!

    Post anything you feel is relevant.

    There is a similar coin in the bag of Romans that I'm having trouble identifying. Your coin might just make that a lot easier. When I got home, I'll post it here under the "anything you feel is relevant" statement and see if it is a Gallienus.

    When I was a young buck, the hairstyle was referred to as a "waterfall".

    I never did get that picture taken yesterday because I spent all night fighting with AT&T over my Internet bill. Let's hope tonight is better and I can get it posted. This thread is the perfect place for the picture because it fits without hijacking the original intent.
