Note: Trebonianus Gallus was a Roman emperor who ruled from AD 251 to 253 during the tumultuous period of the Crisis of the Third Century. His rule included the provinces of the Roman Empire, particularly in the East, and was marked by political instability, external threats from invading forces, and internal strife. The obverse features a radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Trebonianus Gallus facing right, seen from behind. The radiate crown signifies his divine favor and status as emperor. The reverse shows Juno seated left, holding grain-ears in her right hand and a transverse scepter in her left. The imagery of Juno, the queen of the gods and a protector, symbolizes fertility and protection.
