Æ22 - Trebonianus Gallus C I C A AP, D D

Apamea in Bithynia held the honorific title Colonia Iulia Concordia Apamea, reflecting its refoundation under Julius Caesar following the city's support during the civil wars — the C I C A in the colony formula records that political debt in abbreviated form. Trebonianus Gallus came to power after Decius and his son Herennius Etruscus were killed fighting the Goths at the Battle of Abritus in 251, the first Roman emperor to die in battle against a foreign enemy. Provincial bronzes of his reign are comparatively scarce; he ruled barely two years before being killed by his own troops when Aemilian marched on Rome.
