It's been an informative morning for me. First I learned
AVGG vs
AVG differentiates between co rule with
his father and then by himself. I also learned the V is the officinia, I was told it was from
Rome but I was beginning to think I was told wrong and the V may have stood for
Viminacium. Thanks to you and Pekka I've learned a couple things.
As far as an interest in
Gallienus, the only interest I have in collecting is over time obtaining an entire zoo (as can reasonably be expected). Aside from
Pax I've a
Pegasus,
griffin (1 each L & R),
hippocamp,
lion,
centaur (1 ea L & R) and probably these last two are not
part of the "zoo"
wolf w/ twins and finally a
horse from
Troas.
I really don't have a particular interest in anything in particular, aside from the zoo, I'm also working on Domitian/Minerva
denarii w/ her hand on hip, trying to get all the various TRPs, IMPs, &
COSs. Which includes TRP
VIII IMP XXI COS XIII which I was told by seller is 1 of 3 known - I have no way to verify.
Depending on finances I may look for a copy of Gobl later this year. What is your opinion of the "best" general reference material?
