Thanks black-phrophet!
I looked at all that too, and on this coin I think I see antlers above the
head. This under high magnification.
I was mainly impressed with Gallienus's beard and hair. Wow. Unusual to get a coin that has suffered clipping with such a muddy
reverse, and
still have the ingrown hairs on the beard ahem...lol... extant on the
obverse.
Ironic that just after this coin was struck he went off to get killed battling a usurper.
The
portrait is also awfully human. You can see a "police artist's reconstruction" of how he must have looked.
Thanks again!
