I have written an article about some odd characteristics I have seen in
mules of the coinage of Trebonianus. (For those of you
still awake - you are a
rare breed - thank you!)
Pretty much all of Gallus' coinage
reverse types were normal to either Gallus or Volsuian. They didn't both use the same exact everse
types. This is all well known. What is new, is that what
had seemed like accidental die pairings, creating
mules (
obverse of Gallus,
reverse normal to
Volusian, for example) may not be so hap-hazard at all. I have found three distinct evidences that there is much more to the story. Please read my article here:

Best regards,

Of course I could have entitles this: "A
rare breed of
Pax mules", but then all the serious readers would have ignored me, leaving the rest to fall asleep when they realized what it was really about.
