<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2286559, member: 19463&quot;]As mentioned in the excellent opening post, Gallus&#039; son Volusian was made co-Augustus. I find it interesting that be one below (and many) show his name in the dative Volusiano as if the coins were dedicated to him rather than issued by him.&nbsp; This is more common when used for Caesars of young age but it was also done by Trajan as sole ruler so there is no hard set rule.&nbsp; Coins of this reign vary a lot in terms of metal quality.&nbsp; They were on the verge of having too little silver in the mixture to look right.&nbsp; This one is very good in that respect.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]457773[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Gallus also has many coins with officinae or workshops shown on the coins by dots in exergue on the reverse and under the bust on the obverse.&nbsp; Below we see two dots for shop two.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]457784[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
