In my kilo of crusties I found this Volusian with little corrosion. So...no electrolysis this time. Just a soak and a brushing.

Obverse is Volusian, reverse has Salus feeding a snake from a patera.

Can't see the exergue, but I think the mint was Rome.

Can anyone verify the Rome mint?

Yes, it is Rome, though there is nothing in the exergue. Your obverse is IMP CAE VIB VOLVSIANO AVG and the reference is RIC IV Rome 184

Numismatics is an exact science, Victor and I will correct you - obverse is IMP CAE C VIB VOLVSIANO AVG - Imperatori Cęsari Caio Vibio Volusiano Augusto.Everything else is correct
