No reference; there are too many minute variations to make any sort of guide for these coins. Most like to lump all illegible barbarous coins under Tetricus I, but I think that is premature. We simply don't know what the engraver was trying for. Interesting coin though. Almost looks like the reverse figure is holding a simpulum?

I hope it is a misunderstanding snake and the revers are the barbarous Salus ??
