bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/17/2014 12:09 pm Not certain but would suggest Victorinus for the coin on the left. It is not obvious though, Tetricus is also a possibility, as is it not being official - any idea what the reverse is? Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/17/2014 12:20 pm No probs, might be impossible to pin it down to either Victorinus or Tetricus. It looks a lot like both but not enough like either to be certain if that makes sense Lots of unofficial or semi-official coins exist from the Gallic Empire so it could well be one of those. A huge amount of unofficial Tetricus coins were made. Edited by bobbyhelmet 01/17/2014 12:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 01/17/2014 6:33 pm The one on the right is DIVO CLAUDIO (unofficially issued) - probably flaming altar, an eagle if you're lucky (maybe something else if you're reeeally lucky). The one on the right is Tetricus I. Stylistically misplaced for Victorinus and too short a legend too - that looks exactly like the barbaric Tetricii I come across in cleaning.
