<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancient Aussie, post: 2922960, member: 80147&quot;]Part of my neverending quest for affordable architecture coinage drove me to bid and win this Gallienus Mysia Parium AE 26, especially attracted to it as never&nbsp; seen this particular type in any sales anywhere. Although all types are very scarce</p><p>the usual type we mostly see is the triumphal arch with a Nike or Victory standing either side of a quadriga of elephants crowning them on top of the triumphal arch. This type has a number of differences the main one being two statues standing on columns below the top of the arch and two elephant heads both sides of a platform with a person holding a spear, not easy to see on my coin but luckily there was a pic of my reverse in Price and Trell fig. 213, a lot easier to see below......[ATTACH=full]708042[/ATTACH] Another difference is the bust portraiture, usually depicted with a cartoonish Gallienus, my type has a more elegant stately look, unfortunately the obverse not shown in P&amp;T Coins and their cities.[ATTACH=full]708045[/ATTACH]</p><p>GALLIENUS, MYSIA, PARIUM.
