erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 01/27/2024 04:41 am It is a Roman antoninianus by Tetricus II (I think, he looks beardless, Tetricus I has a beard on his coins), with Pax on the reverse. Tetricus I and II were usurper emperors in Gaul and ruled 271-274 AD. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
