ROMAN EMPIRE

GALLIENUS 253-268 AD

BI DOUBLE DENARIUS

Roman Age of Chaos 

CERTIFIED BY NGC

Obverse: 
Gallienus  facing right, wearing a military style drape and a radiate
crown, framed by the inscription "GALLIENVS AVG," which simply means "Emperor
Gallienus."

Reverse: Salus, draped, standing right, feeding
serpent held in arms

Salus (Latin: salus, "safety", "salvation",
"welfare") was a Roman goddess. She was the goddess of safety and well-being
(welfare, health and prosperity) of both the individual and the state. She is
sometimes equated with the Greek goddess Hygieia, though her functions differ
considerably.



Salus is one of the most ancient Roman Goddesses: she is also recorded once as
Salus Semonia, a fact that might hint to her belonging to the category of the
Semones, such as god Semo Sancus Dius Fidius. This view though is disputed among
scholars. The issue is discussed in the section below. The two gods had temples
in Rome on the Collis Salutaris and Mucialis respectively, two adjacent hilltops
of the Quirinal, located in the regio known as Alta Semita. Her temple, as Salus
Publica Populi Romani, was voted in 304 BC, during the Samnite wars, by dictator
Gaius Junius Bubulcus Brutus, dedicated on 5 August 302 and adorned with frescos
at the order of Gaius Fabius Pictor.



The high antiquity and importance of her cult is testified by the little-known
ceremony of the Augurium Salutis, held every year on August 5 for the
preservation of the Roman state. Her cult was spread over all Italy. Literary
sources record relationships with Fortuna and Spes. She started to be
increasingly associated to Valetudo, the Goddess of Personal Health, which was
the real romanized name of Hygieia.



Later she became more a protector of personal health. Around 180 BCE sacrificial
rites in honour of Apollo, Aesculapius, and Salus took place there (Livius XL,
37). There was a statue to Salus in the temple of Concordia. She is first known
to be associated with the snake of Aesculapius from a coin of 55 BC minted by M.
Acilius. Her festival was celebrated on March 30.




Gallienus was Emperor of the Roman Empire
from AD 253-268, sharing the throne with his father Valerian until AD 260, then
as sole ruler until his death in AD 268. Based upon the inscriptions, this
Billon Double-Denarius of Gallienus was struck during his solitary reign, AD
260-268. The Romans typically used doubled letters to indicate plurality.
Coinage of Gallienus minted during his joint reign are inscribed "AVGG" (two
emperors), while later coins bear the inscription "AVG."





Publius Licinius Egnatius Gallienus ( c. 218
– September 268) was Roman emperor with his father Valerian from 253 to 260 and
alone from 260 to 268. He ruled during the Crisis of the Third Century that
nearly caused the collapse of the empire. He won a number of military victories
against usurpers and Germanic tribes, but was unable to prevent the secession of
important provinces. His 15-year reign was the longest in half a century.



Born into a wealthy and traditional senatorial family, Gallienus was the son of
Valerian and Mariniana. Valerian became Emperor in September 253 and had the
Roman senate elevate Gallienus to the ranks of Caesar and Augustus. Valerian
divided the empire between him and his son, with Valerian ruling the east and
his son the west. Gallienus defeated the usurper Ingenuus in 258 and destroyed
an Alemanni army at Mediolanum in 259.



The defeat and capture of Valerian at Edessa in 260 by the Sasanian Empire threw
the Roman Empire into the chaos of civil war. Control of the whole empire passed
to Gallienus. He defeated the eastern usurpers Macrianus Major and Lucius
Mussius Aemilianus in 261–262 but failed to stop the formation of the breakaway
Gallic Empire under general Postumus. Aureolus, another usurper, proclaimed
himself emperor in Mediolanum in 268 but was defeated outside the city by
Gallienus and besieged inside. While the siege was ongoing, Gallienus was
assassinated, stabbed to death by the officer Cecropius, as part of a
conspiracy.

Not premium quality! I've seen actual authentic ones before.
Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural)
Despite all the positive reviews, I believe this product is subpar. There are genuine sheep skin Hydes but this product is NOT it. There is no leather embossing showing authenticity, and many signs of strong chemical treatment. Smell is lingering and I've aired them for over two days. Not very comfortable since the fur is very thick and coarse, you would expect it to be softer for the price as well. Not premium quality. I ordered this for my children to sleep on at long evening Church services but now I will look to more niche sellers for a higher quality product.

⭐ Incredibly Soft Faux Rabbit Blanket That Feels Truly Luxurious
This faux rabbit blanket truly feels luxurious. The softness is incredible — it has that plush, velvety texture that feels amazing against your skin. It’s thick enough to be warm and cozy without feeling heavy or stiff. I’ve used it on chilly evenings, and it keeps me perfectly comfortable while still looking elegant draped over the couch. The color is absolutely beautiful and rich, adding warmth and depth to the room. It looks high-end and much more expensive than it is. The overall quality really impressed me, from the stitching to the density of the fabric. I would absolutely recommend it.

Soft as real rabbit fur
Color: Solid Cream, Size: 50"x60"
This throw blanket is absolutely gorgeous! It’s as soft as real rabbit fur and looks far more expensive than it is. PB has this blanket at a much higher price point but this looks and feel exactly the same for so much less money. It’s pricier than some of the others on Amazon but this one is worth every penny! I ordered the solid cream color in the 50x69 size and it’s plenty big enough to cover me completely with extra blanket to spare! It’s warm but not overly heavy. You can sleep with it or use it to snuggle up on the couch with on those cold winter nights! If you are looking at cheaper ones, don’t bother. This throw is worth the money and much better quality. The edges are trimmed so the lining doesn’t slide . This purchase is a win win!

Beautiful, Warm Faux Fur Blanket
Color: Marble Beige & Grey Chocolate, Size: 60"x80", Color: Marble Beige & Grey Chocolate, Size: 60"x80"
This faux rabbit fur blanket is beautiful, and it goes with everything. It's very soft and just heavy enough to be warm and comfortable, without being heavy. It appears to be durable and colorfast after the first wash, without any noticeable shedding. I bought the "Marble Beige and Grey Chocolate" one, and I'm very happy with it. The marble swirl of natural-looking brown colors reminds me of Swensen's chocolate eclair ice cream!
