APOLLINI CONS AVG - APOLLINI CONS. AVG. (Para Apolo, preservador do imperador.) - Em moedas de bolhão de Gallienus.

O nome e a imagem do deus do sol eram freqüentemente exibidos nas moedas de Roma.

APOLLINI CONS. AVG. - Um centauro segurando um globo em uma mão e um leme na outra, ou um centauro prestes a atirar uma flecha. - Em moedas de bolhão e ases de Gallienus. Por que o centauro é empregado em associação com Apolo só pode ser explicado para aludir ao mito que atribuiu o centauro Quíron como o tutor de Apolo, que foi o primeiro a ensinar-lhe o uso medicinal de ervas. O significado exato do globo e do leme é mais obscuro, mas deve aludir a Galiano dirigindo o estado.

 GALLIENVS AVG, Radiate head right

 APOLLINI CONS AVG Centaur walking left, holding globe and trophy, H in exergue

APOLLINI CONS AVG - APOLLINI CONS. AVG. (To Apollo, preserver of the Emperor.) -- On billon coins of Gallienus.

The name and the image of the sun god were frequently displayed on the coins of Rome.

APOLLINI CONS. AVG. - A Centaur holding a globe in one hand and a rudder in the other, or a Centaur about to shoot an arrow. -- On billon coins and ases of Gallienus. Why the centaur is employed in association with Apollo can only be explained to allude to the myth that assigned the Centaur Chiron as the tutor of Apollo who was the first to teach him the medicinal use of herbs. The exact meaning of the globe and rudder are more obscure but must allude to Gallienus steering the state. 

 

Gallienus - Roman Emperor : 253-268 A.D 

Gallienus "Publius Licinius Egnatius Gallienus Augustus" Born 218AD Died September 268 (aged 50), also known as Gallien,[2] was Roman Emperor with his father Valerian from 22 October 253 to spring 260 and alone from spring 260 to September 268. He ruled during the Crisis of the Third Century that nearly caused the collapse of the empire. While he won a number of military victories, he was unable to prevent the secession of important provinces. His 15-year reign was the longest since the 19-year rule of Caracalla.

Born into a wealthy and traditional senatorial family, Gallienus was the son of Valerian and Mariniana. Valerian became Emperor on 22 October 253 and had the Roman senate elevate Gallienus to the ranks of Caesar and Augustus. Valerian divided the empire between him and his son, with Valerian ruling the east and his son the west. Gallienus defeated the usurper Ingenuus in 258 and destroyed an Alemanni army at Mediolanum in 259.

The defeat and capture of Valerian at Edessa in 260 by the Sasanian Empire threw the Roman Empire into the chaos of civil war. Control of the whole empire passed to Gallienus. He defeated the eastern usurpers Macrianus Major Mussius Aemilianus in 261–262 but failed to stop the formation of the breakaway Gallic Empire under general Postumus. Aureolus, another usurper, proclaimed himself emperor in Mediolanum in 268 but was defeated outside the city by Gallienus and besieged inside. While the siege was ongoing, Gallienus was stabbed to death by the officer Cecropius as part of a conspiracy.
