[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 2872175, member: 75937"]This is a bit tricky for me because the reverse type appears to be Mars standing left and the reverse legend appears to read MART plus something else. Not MARTI plus INVICTO or PACIF or PROPVG. I suppose it could read VIRTVS AVG, but that's a weird-looking VIR if that's the case. There's an officina mark, S, in the exergue. Am I completely missing the boat? What's the reverse legend supposed to read? Is this even Gallienus? I'm pretty sure it is. Sorry about the photo quality. This is enlarged and cleaned up from a photo of a group lot I recently bought at auction; the seller did not attribute any of the coins individually. [ATTACH=full]686700[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
