<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 4025534, member: 75937&quot;]I have lots of his coins. This is my favorite, though. This antoninianus may not look special, but it is scarce to rare and unlisted in Sear, Cohen, or Hunter. There are no examples at Wildwinds and no properly-attributed examples at acsearchinfo, either. That’s not the most interesting thing about it, though. The interesting thing is its obverse inscription and what implications it might have for where it may have been struck, with scholarly disagreement on where it may have been minted. The issues raised about the circumstances and location of its mintage resulted in a <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/one-of-the-scarcer-trebonianus-gallus-antoniniani.348139/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/one-of-the-scarcer-trebonianus-gallus-antoniniani.348139/">thought-provoking discussion</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/trebonianus-gallus-felicitas-pvbl-antoninianus-mediolanum-jpg.1030852/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Trebonianus Gallus, AD 251-253.</p><p>Roman AR antoninianus, 3.60 g, 21.3 mm, 7 h.</p><p>Uncertain mint (formerly attributed to Mediolanum), AD 251-253.</p><p>Obv: IMP C C VIB TREB GALLVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust, right.</p><p>Rev: FELICITAS PVBL, Felicitas standing facing, head left, holding long caduceus and cornucopiae.</p><p>Refs: RIC 75; Cohen --; RCV --; ERIC II --; Wiczay 2509; Banduri p. 59.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
