GALLIENVS AVG / SECVRIT PERPET antoninianus (close to 265-267 A.D.) Obv.: [GALLI]ENVS [AVG], head of Gallienus radiate right
Rev.: [SECV]RIT PERPE[T], Securitas, draped, standing left, legs crossed?, leaning on column, holding sceptre. Left field: H (that looks like N).
d irregular 16-17mm, 2.27g, die axis 1h (medal alignment), material: bronze/copper-based alloy supposedly with some silver.
Authority and portrait: Gallienus (joint reign 253-, sole reign 260-268). Mint: Rome.
AVG = Augustus. SECVRIT(as) PERPET(ua) = perpetual security. Security is another of allegorical goddesses. She rests on a column in a relaxed posture, showing that she is completely at ease and has nothing to fear. Her attribute, scepter, probably shows that the security of the empire is due to imperial power and victories. Sceptres, often two to three foot ivory rods topped with a globe or an eagle, were introduced by Augustus as a symbol of Rome's power. They would be carried by emperors while riding in chariots to celebrate military victories. Thus a scepter is a symbol of emperor's leadership and victory. H in left field probably means officina 8.
RIC V-1 Rome 280; Goebl 595; Sear 10359.
ID is straightforward. The usual obverse variations include bare or cuirassed bust, or just head. H designating officina 8 can be also in left field and etched in a "relaxed" manner, so may look like N, Z or II. Sizes mostly 19-20mm, but there are smaller and larger variations. This coin would have been 19mm-ish, if not for the lost edge.Yurii P

Turkey, Istanbul, Column of Constantine9-6-2015
Known locally as "ÇemberlitaÅŸ" which translates as "hooped Stone" due to the Iron hoops added in 1779 AD after an earthquake and fire. The base was also reinforced at this date.
The column was inaugurated in 330 AD and originally had three more sections with a large Capital upon which was a gilded statue of Constantine in the guise of his favourite deity, Sol.
At the base of the column was said to have been a sanctuary with ancient relics stored.
A hurricane blew down the statue, Capital and upper three sections of column in 1106 AD.
In the reign of Manuel I (1143-1180 AD) a new Capital was installed with a dedicatory inscription around it which translates as "Faithful Manuel invigorated this holy work of art, which has been damaged by time."
A Cross was also placed on top of this, removed after the Ottoman conquest in 1453 AD. Bronze Wreaths are said to have covered the joints of the column, where the stone ones are today, said to have been looted by the Franks in 1204 AD.Constantine IV

Vespasian RIC II 1065Vespasian. 69-79 A.D. Rome Mint. 79 A.D. to 24 June. (3.38g, 18.3m, 6h). Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG, laureate head right. Rev: TR POT X COS VIIII, statute of radiate male figure (Sol?) with spear and parazonium, on rostral column. RIC II 1065 (R), BMC 254, RSC 559. Ex. Harry N. Sneh Collection.
This was among Vespasian’s last issue of denarii prior to his death. The rostral column is usually associated with a great military victory. Mattingly supposes this denarius shows the colossus, with the features of Nero or Titus, which was erected in 75 A.D. Recent scholarship questions if the figure isn’t Sol. This specimen has a broad flan, a full weight, and complete legends. Lucas H
