Gallienus. AE 24-27; Gallienus; 253-268 AD, Viminacium, Moesia Superior, Year 16 = 254/5 AD, AE 24-27, 9.70g. Varbanov-239 corr., AMNG-193 (6 spec.). Obv: IMP GALLIENVS P AVG Bust laureate, draped, cuirassed r. Rx: P M S C - OL VIM around, [AN XVI] in exergue, Moesia standing l., extending her r. hand over a bull and her l. hand over a lion. From Gallienus' final issue of provincial bronze coins at Viminacium; rare, and interesting because the same obverse legend was also used on an issue of antoniniani of Gallienus, which have therefore themselves been attributed to Viminacium, though it seems more likely that Viminacium copied its obverse legend from antoniniani which were actually struck elsewhere, rather than vice versa..
