FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 2:38 pm Thanks 'Met'. Now I am looking at the Tetricus ..... that should be easy right ? The obverse almost certainly is Tetricus. The reverse almost certainly shows CONSECRATIO. Good and well. Tetricus in honor of DIVVS VICTORINVS ? There is such a type I can find ..... but not this type ! Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS 01/18/2014 2:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
