Description

Trebonianus Gallus. - 251-253 AD. AE 24, 10.10g (1h). Samaria, Neapolis. Obv: [AVT KAI Γ OVIB TPI]B ΓAΛΛOC CEB Bust laureate, cuirassed right, seen from front, fold of cloak on front shoulder. Rx: ΦΛ NEAC - ΠOΛEWC Gallus and Volusian, both togate, stand facing each other, each extending patera over altar between them with right hand and holding short scepter in left; between their heads, Mt. Gerizim between star and crescent. Harl, Neapolis, Museum Notes 29, 1984, no. 120 (A28-P113), pl. 13 (mislabeled 121), citing Rosenberger 112. Apparently only the second recorded specimen of this interesting type. Light smoothing, band of radiate crown and hair above forehead tooled. Repatinated after its appearance in Gemini VII. VF
Ex Gemini VII, 9 January 2011, lot 867 (Dr. Patrick Tan Collection)
Notes
Harl seems to have misidentifed the obverse die of the Rosenberg specimen of this coin as being his A27, when in fact it is his A28. Our coin is definitely from his A28, the same obverse die as his catalogue no. 124, pl. 13 = SNG ANS 1034
