Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 11:49 pm I received this Tacitus antoninianus in yesterday's mail. It is a high grade piece with little, if any, wear and full silvering. I love the depiction of the curls on Tacitus' beard running down on to his neck. The reverse depicts the emperor receiving a globe from Jupiter with reverse legend PROVIDENT DEOR. The coin is attributed as RIC,Vol. V, Part 1, #212 from the Antioch mint. It is 22 mm. in diameter and weighs 3.75 grams. Paul Bulgerin Edited by Paul Bulgerin 09/21/2018 7:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I think it's interesting how youthful the emperor is made to appear considering he was at least 75 at the time. In any event, a wonderful specimen! Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 09/21/2018 7:27 pm You are right. It is 212. The reverse design is the same as 210, which is CLEMENTIA TEMP, and I had that in mind when I put up the post. I'll make the change. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
