Gallus Antioch Tetradrachms

When I understand these coins better I will add to their description, and add reference information.  The reference number is Prieur.  His book The Syro-Phoenician Tetradrachms and Their Fractions 57 BC to 253 AD is the standard reference and a wonderful book.  The number in parentheses in the description is the number of examples of that specific coin type that Prieur found when researching his book.  I don't usually collect provincials, but these coins have so much in common with the Antioch antoninianii so that I really like them.   See how the both the early fine style, and late coarse style exist for these too.

  AUTOK K G OUIB TREB GALLOC CEB .../?  From the last year of Gallus' reign (although it still says year 2, because Gallus did not make himself a consul again at the end of 252).  The style is identical to the last antoninianii Gallus minted at Antioch.  This type (late style) seems quite scarce.
