GALLIENUS 253-268 AD

BI DOUBLE DENARIUS

Roman Age of Chaos

Gallienus."

Reverse : ABVNDANTIA AVG  B .Abundantia

In ancient Roman religion, Abundantia was a
divine personification of abundance and prosperity. She was among the
embodiments of virtues in religious propaganda that cast the emperor as the
ensurer of "Golden Age" conditions. Abundantia thus figures in art, cult, and
literature, but has little mythology as such. She may have survived in some form
in Roman Gaul and medieval France.





Gallienus was Emperor of the Roman Empire
from AD 253-268, sharing the throne with his father Valerian until AD 260, then
as sole ruler until his death in AD 268. Based upon the inscriptions, this
Billon Double-Denarius of Gallienus was struck during his solitary reign, AD
260-268. The Romans typically used doubled letters to indicate plurality.
Coinage of Gallienus minted during his joint reign are inscribed "AVGG" (two
emperors), while later coins bear the inscription "AVG."





Publius Licinius Egnatius Gallienus ( c. 218
– September 268) was Roman emperor with his father Valerian from 253 to 260 and
alone from 260 to 268. He ruled during the Crisis of the Third Century that
nearly caused the collapse of the empire. He won a number of military victories
against usurpers and Germanic tribes, but was unable to prevent the secession of
important provinces. His 15-year reign was the longest in half a century.



Born into a wealthy and traditional senatorial family, Gallienus was the son of
Valerian and Mariniana. Valerian became Emperor in September 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 and Lucius
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
assassinated, stabbed to death by the officer Cecropius, as part of a
conspiracy.

Excellent intro to a complicated subject. Much superior to other more well-known -- and wordier -- attempts at explaining modernism.

Romantic Suspense-Incredible
Format: Kindle
This book was incredible from beginning to end. The author did a great job balancing the romance, mystery/suspense and emotional moments that made it hard to put this book down. The chemistry and banter between the two main characters was great. Their interactions had me smiling throughout the story. The kidnapper completely surprised me. I wasn’t even close in figuring out who it was either. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a story filled with heart, suspense, and unexpected twists.

4⭐️ Romantic Suspense
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I loved this book! Good plot, good story, & it kept my interest from beginning to end. 🌶️ - A little bit of spice sprinkled in. Dark Romance is usually my genre of choice. However, Romantic Thrillers are quickly becoming one of my favorite genres that I wasn’t even quite sure existed. All of the Missing Pieces fits that genre perfectly. I really enjoyed Ridley’s character! For all the loss & trauma she has gone through, she is still so willing to help others. I loved her spitfire personality. This story had me feeling all kinds of emotions while making me giggle at times. I thought I had the unsub figured out about halfway through, but I was so very wrong! What a twist. Carter & Ridley’s relationship evolved perfectly. Ridley got the closure that she needed with her HEA. ‼️Possible spoiler ahead! ‼️I did find it hard to believe that Emerson was able to solve the case within a few minutes but wasn’t able to remember those same exact details over the course of 10 years? It felt a little too fast to me. Almost as if the author was trying to wrap up the story a little too quickly. On a side note, I wish there was a spin-off about Trey & Emerson!

The perfect romantic mystery
Format: Kindle
Honestly, this book’s hold over me was a little worrying. The story opens with a tragic event, introducing Ridley Sawyer, who immediately captured my heart. She’s tenacious, motivated, witty, and complicated. I connected with her character so quickly that she felt like a friend by the second chapter—something that doesn’t happen often. I also fell in love with her cat, Princess Tater, who had me giggling and kicking my feet. This little feline terror was so well-written that I was emotionally invested in her welfare. I would have rioted if anything happened to her or that adorable van she and Ridley lived in, which doubled as a mobile podcast station. The story beautifully portrays the other fur babies as both sources of emotional comfort and brave protectors. I looked forward to each scene that included them. Catherine painted a detailed picture of the small town and everyone living there. It perfectly sets the scene without upstaging the characters or the book’s mystery. Colt was also a fantastic character. His grumpiness blended well with Ridley’s sunny personality, but they both had a darkness that few could see. Their tragic pasts brought them together and made them grow in ways I didn’t anticipate as the story unfolded. I loved how the slow burn and spice were incredibly hot but subtle enough to enhance the story without overpowering it. I couldn’t figure out who did it, so the reveal was a complete shock. I had doubts, but the author kept me guessing until the end. My hats off to her for sending me in every direction trying to solve this mystery without successfully figuring out who it was. I yelled, and my husband came running when it was revealed. 😂 I don’t give spoilers, but if you love small-town romances, captivating characters, and true crime mysteries, you’ll be hooked on this book. It had the perfect ending, resolving all my questions and giving me more than I expected. This is my first Catherine Cowles book, but definitely not my last. Her writing style is engaging and punctuated with gorgeous sentences I eagerly highlighted on my Kindle to share with others. I highly recommend curling up in your favorite chair, grabbing a snack, and getting lost in this incredible story. You won’t regret it.
