The Development of Imperial Portraiture on the Coinage of Gallienus (AD 253-268)

Overview
Holmes focuses on the development of imperial portraiture on the coinage of Gallienus (AD 253-268). Perhaps the chief element which distinguishes the coinage of the Roman emperors of the second half of the third century AD from that of their immediate predecessors is the wide variety of imperial portraits which were used, to a greater or lesser extent, by all of them. Gallienus pioneered the use of several styles of portrait never previously seen on coins of central imperial mints. Gallienus was to demonstrate by many of his actions that he did not feel bound by these accepted guidelines at all. The consequences of this disagreement may lie behind some of the numismatic innovations which he instituted.
