A Roman coin from Danes Castle (obverse)
Back to Time Period
This antoninianus, a silver coin struck for the emperor Gallienus (AD 253-68), was found in the garden of the Fire Station at Dane’s Castle in 1955. On the obverse (‘head’) view seen here he is shown wearing a ‘radiate’ spiked crown; on the reverse side stands Equity with her balanced scales and cornucopia (horn of plenty).
