Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 12:12 pm First guess is the Gallic Emperor Tetricus Barbarous radiant from the 270's probably originating somewhere in Gaul. Report this Post to the Staff
DannDaMan020 Valued Member United States 188 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 12:15 pm I believe it is a barbarous CONSECRATIO issue of Claudius II. Look in WildWinds, RIC 259. The RIC is the actual imperial issue. Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 12:16 pm Probably Claudius 'Gothicus'. Obverse is DIVO CLAVDIO and the reverse is an altar. Postumous issue by his successors - either Aurelian or his brother Quintillus who had a very short reign post Claudius. Report this Post to the Staff
phillips5890 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 12:17 pm Just looked at wildwinds at the reverse of Tetricus 1 and 2 and no match. But it does look like him. Report this Post to the Staff
chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4973 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 12:19 pm a consecratio with the altar reverse was my first thought as well. also thought it may be barbarous. Report this Post to the Staff
phillips5890 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 12:22 pm It could be the RIC 259, I think we are in the right direction. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 12:29 pm Its a barbarous imitation of Claudius II - DIVO CLAVDIO / CONSECRATIO showing a flaming altar. One of the most common issues around. In the lot of uncleaned coin I received today, I got 2. I wouldnt clean it any further. Luckily, its an interesting issue - Who issued them? Quintillus didnt rule long enough for there to be so many of them (officially issued, that is). The barbarians probably issued so many because its an easy design to cut a die for (perhaps to train the new Celators before moving on to harder designs like FEL TEMPs) Report this Post to the Staff
