Roman Empire, Gallienus (253-268), Antoninianus, Rome mint, 6th emission, 6th officina.
Obverse: G-ALLIENVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust left, holding spear pointing forward and shield;
Reverse: GENIVS A-VG, Genius standing left, holding patera in right hand and cornucopia in left hand, standard to the right; V-I in field;
Notes: The military busts of Gallienus from Rome are all very rare; they were introduced at the beginning of his sole reign, which is appropriate considering the turmoil that the empire was experiencing: it was necessary to reassure the population of the emperor's martial prowess.
