altar with with flames arising and the letters CON. The image on left is, of course,
bust right with
radiate crown. The points (4) of the crown are well-defined from 10h to 1h. Perhaps the most common of all the "barbarous radiates". The undersized
flan is typical. Struck in
Britain or
Gaul, c. mid- to late 270s. See
Sutherland,
Coinage and Currency in Roman Britain, 1937, pp. 150-151 (class I); pl. XI, 5-8.
