Gallieni Duo
Scriptores Historiae Augustae
Fuit denique hactenus statua in pede Montis Romulei, hoc est ante Sacram Viam, inter Templum Faustinae ac Vestam ad Arcum Fabianum, quae haberet inscriptum "Gallieno iuniori" "Salonino" additum. Ex quo eius nomen intellegi poterit.
As a matter of fact, a statue of him has remained to the present time at the foot of the Hill of Romulus, in front of the Sacred Way, that is, between the Temple of Faustina and the Temple of Vesta near the Fabian Arch, which bears the inscription "To Gallienus the Younger" with the addition of "Saloninus," and from this his name can be learned.
