<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3447607, member: 75937&quot;]I have been looking for a nice example of this coin from the Antioch mint and finally acquired one at auction. Trebonianus Gallus&#039;s coins of Antioch have a number of distinguishing features. First, they include the abbreviation P F (Pius Felix) in the obverse inscription. Second, they include a series of dots or Roman numerals to designate the officina in which they were struck and these are present both on the obverse (below the bust) and on the reverse (in the exergue). They also come in a couple of different bust types, either draped and cuirassed (more common) or simply cuirassed (scarce). </p><p><br /></p><p>Post your coins of Trebonianus Gallus!
