| Beschrijving keerzijde | A helmeted Roman soldier, draped and cuirassed, strides dynamically to the left, thrusting a spear downward with his right hand into a fallen horseman below. A large round shield is borne on the soldier's left arm, and a second shield lies on the ground to the right of the composition. The defeated horseman, distinguished by a pointed Phrygian-style cap, is depicted seated and turning to the right with both arms raised in a gesture of supplication or surrender. This well-known FEL TEMP REPARATIO type alludes to the restoration of prosperous times and Roman military supremacy. The reverse legend FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO is disposed around the field, with the officina mark Γ and control mark * appearing in the exergue or field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Constantius Gallus was appointed Caesar by his cousin Constantius II in 351, partly to manage the volatile eastern frontier while the Augustus dealt with the usurper Magnentius in the west. The appointment was always uneasy. Gallus governed from Antioch with increasing brutality — executing officials and fomenting street violence — until Constantius summoned him west in 354 and had him beheaded near Pola before he reached thirty years old. His coinage accordingly spans a narrow four-year window.
Thessalonica's workshop used the Γ* officina mark for this issue, placing it within a well-documented RIC sequence for the mint under Gallus's brief Caesar tenure.
