Good silver Quintillus antoninianus OTD
« on: September 05, 2019, 05:57:17 am »

An interesting 3rd century ant. Cleaned to an unoxidised, slightly porous and lightly corroded metal surface, it is still bright and silvery in the hand, indicating it has a higher than normal silver content for an ant of the 3rd century AD.

QUINTILLUS, (c. A.D. 270), billon antoninianus, Rome mint, (3.34 g), obv. radiate and draped bust of Quintillus to right, around IMP QVINTILLVS AVG, rev. Mars standing left, holding branch and spear, around MARTI PACI, officina letter [P] in exergue, (S.11447, RIC. 58).
