Roman Empire, Gallienus RESTITVTOR VRBIS, Rome, c.267

Appears to be completely unknown and hence a new type late in the reign of Gallienus at Rome

GALLIENVS AVG, Radiate head right
RESTITVTOR VRBIS, Roma seated left
Weight 1.59g

Possibly connected with other material of this period such as the sestertii with GENIVS P R busts. Possibly a trial for an issue that was never, for some reason, actually struck in any numbers. The reverse type and legend are taken from issues of Septimius Severus several decades earlier
