    WOW what a bargain, two coins with good detail for 7.5 Euro each. That's what makes collecting ancients so appealing you can buy a piece of history so cheap. Well done. I don't have a Gallus as yet but have a Volusian sestertius. 2015-01-07 01.08.08-2.jpg

    Look more carefully at the obverse inscription, @Bing . It's not from the Rome mint. It's:

    Uncertain mint (Milan?), AD 252
    Obv: IMP C C VIB TREB GALLVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust, right

    Great coins everyone! Very cool Viminacium OP coins. Check out this site if you have not: http://www.viminacium.nl

    My Trebonianus Gallus is not from Viminacium but here he is:

    Interestingly, according to Ian J. Sellers' The Monetary System of the Romans: A description of the Roman coinage from early times to the reform of Anastasius (p. 289), coinage in the name of Herennia Etruscilla (whose son, Hostilian, was adopted by Trebonianus Gallus) appears to have continued under Gallus, at least until the death of Hostilian.

    Here's a coin of Etruscilla from Viminacium (but not during Trebonianus' reign):

    Etruscilla Viminacium.jpg
    Herennia Etruscilla, AD 249-251
    Roman provincial Æ; 12.67 g, 27.45 mm, 7:00
    Moesia Superior, Viminacium, AD 249-250
    Obv: HER ETRVSCILLA AVG, diademed and draped bust, right
    Rev: P M S COL VIM, Moesia standing left between bull and lion; ANXI (year 11 = 249/50) in exergue

    Okay. I'll admit I just took the sellers attribution in this case. That was 2-3 years ago so I have no excuse. It's more than obvious it was wrong. Thanks for pointing it out and it has been corrected in my catalog.

    The bust on the right in the OP (in the Capitoline Museum) is generally attributed to Trajan Decius. As far as I know, there are no surviving busts of Volusianus known.
