An important coin for history in my opinion so posting it
here for history while I have it. There is a great Youtube video at the end of this posting about Roman Britain that if you have not seen you will enjoy perhaps:

Wowwww...that is a fascinating piece, louisville. That reverse is quite the cool motif. While I find my drive mainly in the portraiture, the history is also an important source of inspiration. Thank you for sharing!

Louis, thanks for sharing I have the more common Allectus type. I have listened to that podcast quite a number of times. His history of Byzantium is also very nicely done. Unfortunately, there were quite a number of usurpers from Britain from Clodius Albinus to who finally put the nail in the coffin of Roman Britain - Constantine III

Allectus AE Antoninianus. London mint. IMP C ALLECTVS PF AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / PAX AVG, Pax standing left holding branch and transverse sceptre, S-P across fields. Mintmark ML
