<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 7668657, member: 75937&quot;]Intriguing coin, [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER]. There are many such coins whose mint is uncertain. Such is the case with the &quot;branch mint&quot; of Trebonianus Gallus.</p><p><br /></p><p>While RIC (IV-3, p. 151) unambiguously attributes this one to the Milan (Mediolanum) mint* on the basis of its obverse inscription IMP C C VIB TREB GALLVS AVG instead of the IMP CAE C VIB TREB GALLVS AVG found at Rome, Sear (vol 3, p. 227) is more cautious about attributing it to a specific mint, noting that Milan, Viminacium, or Rome are all possibilities.**</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/trebonianus-gallus-felicitas-pvbl-antoninianus-mediolanum-jpg.992505/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Trebonianus Gallus, AD 251-253.</p><p>Roman AR antoninianus, 3.60 g, 21.3 mm, 7 h.</p><p>Uncertain mint (formerly attributed to Mediolanum), AD 251-253.</p><p>Obv: IMP C C VIB TREB GALLVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust, right.</p><p>Rev: FELICITAS PVBL, Felicitas standing facing, head left, holding long caduceus and cornucopiae.</p><p>Refs: RIC 75; Cohen --; RCV --; ERIC II --; Wiczay 2509; Banduri p. 59.</p><p><br /></p><p>*</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/capture-jpg.633543/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>**</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/treb-gall-sear-jpg.633544/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
