ROMAN COIN
272
Roman copper alloy coin, probably a radiate, probably of Tetricus II, Probably SPES AVG reverse type, unclear mint, 272-4 AD. About a quarter of the coin is lost to an old break.The coin is unusualy large and thick for a radiate of Tetricus II and the portrait, where is can be seen, is more reminiscent of a more senior emperor, possibly Carausius however the end of the legend is clear and only found on coins of Tetricus II.
