The Gallienus Antoninianus with a Fortuna reverse highlights the emperor’s appeal to Fortuna, the goddess of fortune and fate, during the turbulent Crisis of the Third Century. The obverse features Gallienus’s radiate bust, symbolising his divine authority. The reverse depicts Fortuna standing, often holding a rudder and cornucopia, symbolising guidance and prosperity. These coins conveyed optimism and reassurance to a troubled population, projecting Gallienus’s ability to navigate Rome through uncertain times with divine favour and good fortune. We have a small group of these Antoniniani available in Good very Fine. PLEASE NOTE: PHOTOGRAPHY IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COIN SUPPLIED
