Branch Mint 
	(RIC incorrectly attributes these to Milan)
This issue had long been attributed to Milan.  In The 
Cunetio Treasure, Besly and Bland showed that the existence of hybrids that 
combined both the so-called Milan mint, with the Rome mint proved that these 
special issue coins (or fifth issue) were either minted by the Rome mint, or at 
least by dies supplied by that mint.  According to Jérôme Mairat in Rome 
XI – Trébonien Galle au Coeur de l’Anarchie Militaire, these special issue 
coins are found disproportionally higher in hoards of the Balkan regions so it 
seems that although the coins were minted at Rome, they were shipped to the 
Balkans to fund the war against the Goths.   Besly and Bland also 
showed that this special issue was contemporary with issue two and three of 
Gallus Rome issues.

		The coin does not even have a trace of the final reverse

		whenever you see an antoninianus of Gallus with a super-long nose as is 
		on this coin, it will invariably be a branch mint coin (and it is not 
		limited to just a few dies!).  We can firmly establish then that 
		these branch mint coins were struck after Gallus lied about how Hostilian 
		died :) |  |  |

		RIC notes that this coin has a Rome mint obverse and a 
		'Milan" mint reverse.  The fact that many of these mules exist is 
		the basis of Besly and Bland's conclusion that these coins do not come 
		from Milan, but from Rome. |  |  |

		Based on data in "The Cunetio Treasure", mules with the
