| For a concise history of
Gallus, born about 206, emperor from 251 to 253, see
De Imperatoribus
Romanis. The larger-than-life
statue of Trebonian the Gaul shown in the photos can be seen in the new
Greco-Roman installation at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The sculpture, the only known full-body bronze from the 3rd century, was
discovered near Rome's Church of San Giovanni in Laterano. The gold coin
bearing his image is in the numismatic collection of the
Palazzo
Massimo. |
