[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 7853837, member: 85693"]Saturday night and I am wondering if there are any Gallienus experts out there? Just came in the mail today, an Antoninianus issued for Gallienus with LAETITIA AVG on the reverse. Many of these have field marks, or a letter in the exergue, but this one is plain. A radiate head right (no drape, cuirass, etc.) There are two possibilities - with identical descriptions (as far as I can tell): RIC 226k, Rome Mint RIC 489k, Mediolanum Mint. Numista lists both types, with this note on RIC 489: "It is similar to RIV (sic) V.1 226 but differs in style" and a Wildwinds link. No real hints about what this "style" might consist of...:bucktooth: My inexpert guess based on looking at a few of these is that this is Mediolanum, RIC 489k. Good guess? :nailbiting: [ATTACH=full]1353003[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
