Description: AVG IN PACE or AUGUSTA IN PEACE is considered by many to be the first overtly Christian legend. In 261 the emperor Gallienus restored the rights of Christians and ended the persecution started by Trajan Decius in 250AD. His wife Salonina was reputed to be a Christian herself and the end of the persecution would have put her at peace. This legend was not used by any other emperor or empress

Description: VF. Limes denarii were struck by official mints in bronze or billon generally on the northern frontier where silver was scarce. Many times they are mules with mismatched obverse and reverse dies. They were still valuated as a denarius. Many times the weak strikes are attributed to the use of old dies sent to the frontier to be used once they were too worn for Imperial use. An interesting part of Roman history
