Salonina VENVS AVG from Antioch...dated coin

[Victor]

Here's a nice example of a coin from Salonina with PXV in the exergue, which is the tribuncian year (A.D. 267) for her husband Gallienus.


Salonina
A.D. 267
AR Antoninianus
20x21mm    4.0gm
SALONINA AVG; draped bust right, on crescent.
VENVS AVG; Venus stg. l., holding helmet and spear; beside her, shield.
In ex. PXV
RIC V Antioch 86

[Pharsalus]

Gorgeous coin!
My only Antioch minted coin from the period is this Gallienus Luna Lucifera type, which also comes dated PXV. The style of the reverse figure is very similar, almost could be the same engraver don't you think?

[Victor]

it does look like the same engraver, he has a very delicate style.

below is a Gallienus LVNA example that I have.

Gallienus
A.D. 267
Ӕ Antoninianus
20x21mm   3.4gm
GALLIENVS AVG; radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from rear.
LVNA LVCIT; Luna standing right, crescent on head, carrying long torch.
In ex. PXV
RIC V Antioch 609

[Pharsalus]

Yes the style is very nice, and the flans and strike are carefully done. The next time someone says coins minted under Gallienus are ugly, I'll think of your pretty Venus OP.
Nice Lvna example too!
