Gallienus Coins — 283 Types (263 AD) | NumisLens

Gallienus (253–268 AD) ruled during one of the deepest crises of the third century, and his coinage documents the progressive collapse of the Roman monetary system in real time. Early joint-reign issues with his father Valerian I (253–260 AD) include reasonably good silver antoniniani; after Valerian's capture by the Sassanid Persians, Gallienus ruled alone and the silver content of the antoninianus plummeted to a thin wash over bronze. The sole reign coinage is among the most abundant in Roman numismatics — the Rome mint alone produced hundreds of types, supplemented by the mints at Milan, Antioch, Siscia, and others. Despite their base metal, Gallienus antoniniani are popular with collectors for their extraordinary reverse variety: the zoo series (legionary animals), the emperor's personal devotion types, and the prolific SOLI INVICTO and military types. RIC V part 1 (Webb 1927) is the traditional reference, though Goebl's MIR 36 provides a more modern die-based treatment. The sheer volume of types and affordability of individual coins makes Gallienus ideal for building a comprehensive type collection.
