Wow, I don't even know how to begin identifying this-- can't tell if it is male or female, bareheaded or not, etc. I'll take one stab-in-the-dark though. Youthful jawline so young man or female. And the executive dart board says: Herennius Etruscus. If correct I'm going to go buy a lottery ticket  |

This one won't be easy. It is an Emperor not an Empress and it is an AVG not a CAES. I am going to take a nap now ..... The 'old man' is feeling a bit weary today. I have 2.5 hours until my 8 year old 'terrorista' makes his appearance ! If you guys are still clueless by 3 I will find some obscure detail to confuse the issue further. I went B&W with the photo as the patina coloration made the profile even more 'interesting'.
Eddop ...... you sold a Messalina AE (26-7mm ?)to buy how many Carus Antoniniani ? You better tell me you rented a truck to bring them home !

"He espoused Pipa, the daughter of a king of the Marcomanni,a Suevic tribe,
which was often confounded with the Alemanni in their wars and conquests..........
But the haughty prejudice of Rome still refused the name of marriage to the profane mixture of citizen and a barbarian;
and has stigmatized the German princess with the opprobrious title of concubine of (. . . . ? . . . . )."

I neglected to mention no Google ! Yes you are on target. A bit of a rough sestertius of Gallienus.  |
