Denarius PAX, Genius

This denarius belongs to the coinage of Civilis — more precisely, it is attributed to the brief Gallic revolt coinage struck during the Year of the Four Emperors, when the Rhine legions and their allies briefly asserted independent authority. The RIC I 22 reference places it within the contested emissions of 68–69 AD, a period when mint control fractured entirely across the empire following Nero's suicide. Multiple unofficial or semi-official minting operations operated simultaneously, making die attribution genuinely difficult and attribution to a single authority still debated among specialists.
