Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 06/18/2019 5:58 pm Gaius Vibius Volusianus ruled alongside his father, Trebonianus Gallus, for a bit under two years, until both were killed by their own forces, who in a panic were seeking to appease rather than oppose the usurper Aemilian.

Be that as it may, coinage depicting Volusian seems far from being in short supply. My example seems to have been struck with a reverse die that was in a pretty advanced state. Here's an example where the reverse die was much more fresh: Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
