Volusian (AD 251–253), son of Emperor Trebonianus Gallus, was elevated to Augustus during a plague-ridden reign. His bronze (AE) and silver (AR) coinage, often minted in Rome and Antioch, features propaganda focusing on pax (peace) and virtus (virtue). Coins often depict him radiate or laureate-crowned, with various reverse types.

Rams Head/Antioch Association: While standard Imperial coins show figures like Pax or Virtus, coins from Antioch (Pisidia) sometimes feature a ram’s head, eagle, or local deity symbols representing the Roman legion or local cults of the province.
