[QUOTE="Ardatirion, post: 774357, member: 9204"]Mirabile dictu! If I knew it would only take a beat-up old Gallienus, I'd have sent you one sooner. I've recently taken a shine to the coinage of Gallienus. Its some of the ugliest coinage of the whole Empire, but that just makes finding a good one even more exciting. As per the write up, I've been planning on making a big post about style.
