Lot # 1137 - GALLIENUS (253-268). Antoninianus. Mediolanum. Obv: GALLIENVS AVG. Radiate and cuirassed bust left, holding spear and shield.Rev: LEG I ADI VI P VI F. Capricorn right.MIR 982q; RIC 315.Legio I Italica was formed by Nero on September 20, 66 or 67, and remained active until the 5th century. Its emblems were the boar and sometimes the bull. Nero recruited it for a campaign in Armenia and the Far East, to emulate the victorious campaigns of General Corbulo in the preceding years. Nero called the unit “the phalanx of Alexander the Great,” which shows what he wanted to achieve in the East. However, a few weeks later, another legion, the XII, was defeated in Judaea, and war broke out in the Roman Empire. The planned expedition to the Caspian Sea was never carried out. In 68, Legio I was sent to Gaul to deal with the rebellion of the governor Gaius Julius Vindex, then in 69 it supported the governor of Germania Inferior, Vitellius, who proclaimed himself emperor and descended into Italy to face Otho. Vitellius, with the legions I Italica, V Alaudae, and XXI Rapax, defeated Otho in the first battle of Bedriacum. Legio I Italica proved to be the bravest on the battlefield, so much so that Vitellius brought it to Rome to parade through the city streets. When Vitellius then clashed with Vespasian near Cremona, Legio I fought valiantly once again, but this time it was defeated. Under Vespasian, the legion was stationed in Moesia, where it defended the Roman borders for about two centuries. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 3.67 g. Diameter: 22 mm.
