Here are a few interesting coins. the first coin is a victorinus with salus feeding a snake, lots of detail on the reverse.

second coin looks like the engraver ran out of room on the reverse and sort of squished everything on there. notice how the trophy looks like it didnt have its V8

Nice coins. I've always liked the Victorinus coins, but usually the reverse is either poorly done or poorly preserved. Yours looks fairly well struck and preserved.

I did not know that Victorinus existed until I saw your coin. A secessionist/Gallic emperor--interesting, and it makes sense now why the coin looks more barbarous than imperial. It helps me understand why Rome became focused on showing military might on their coinage--the integrity of their frontiers was falling apart.

Nice group! Some of these portraits are getting easier to recognize, such as Licinius.

Here is another picture of the first victory reverse I've ever had on a claudius II.
