| Aanvullende informatie |
Trebonianus Gallus came to power in 251 after Decius and his son were killed fighting the Goths at Abritus — the first Roman emperors to die in battle against a foreign enemy. His reign lasted barely two years before his own troops mutinied in favor of Aemilianus. The Alexandrian mint continued its Egyptian regnal-year coinage regardless, operating with a bureaucratic indifference to the chaos in Rome that characterizes the entire third-century provincial series.
The Γ (year 3) designation places this piece in his final regnal year, 252–253. Year 3 Alexandrian issues of Gallus are notably scarcer than year 1 output.
