<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 2900190, member: 87200&quot;]Here&#039;s one that I couldn&#039;t pass up, an antoninianus of Gallienus featuring Pegasus on the reverse from [USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER] &#039;s auction of last week. Because of his long reign he managed to strike a varied and interesting coinage, even in the base metals. One could probably make a career out of strictly collecting Gallienus coins. Despite his faults, Gallienus was an interesting third-century character who provided fiscal support to the Neo-Platonist philosopher Plotinus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Type: AE antoninianus</p><p><br /></p><p>Rome mint, A.D. 267-268</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: GALLIENVS AVG, radiate bust right</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: SOLI CONS AVG, Pegasus springing right</p><p><br /></p><p>Reference: RIC V 282</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]698412[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]698413[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, feel free to post some of your interesting Gallienus types in this thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
