Remarkable Allectus obverse legend
« on: October 08, 2016, 04:46:58 pm »
Hi,

Just acquired this interesting Allectus antoninianus:


Allectus 293-6
Antoninianus
IMP C ALLECTVS AVG
Radiate, draped & cuirassed bust right
VIRTVS AVG
Emperor waking right holding globe and transverse spear
Camulodunum mint
S/P//C
RIC - (cf122); Burnett - (cf 198-9)

The reverse type is listed in both RIC and Burnett. The interest is in the obverse legend. Burnett notes that IMP C ALLECTVS AVG is only noted by him for the galley "Q" coins.

Regards,

Mauseus

I saw it and thought it was interesting also...not for the obverse legend, but the reverse type. First one I've encounteted of this Emperor and would like it in just a bit better condition..must be a somewhat rare issue. Thanks for the info!
