Description: This ancient coin from the Roman Empire features the image of Emperor Gallienus on the obverse. The reverse depicts Virtus Augusti. Virtus was a specific virtue in ancient Rome that carried connotations of valor, masculinity, excellence, courage, character, and worth, perceived as masculine strengths. It was thus a frequently stated virtue of Roman emperors, and was personified as the deity Virtus. It is an Antoninianus denomination minted between 260 AD to 268 AD from the period of Imperial Rome. Publius Licinius Egnatius Gallienus 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 numerous 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. The coin is a fascinating piece of ancient history that would make a fantastic addition to any collection. 1160
