"VICTORIOSO SEMPER"


« on: September 21, 2012, 06:30:07 am »

Some days ago, i bought this Probus Antoninianus.

Antoninianus
OV: Radiate bust in imperial mantle to left, holding eagle tipped scepter.
Leg: IMP PROBVS AVG
Rv: Soldier stg. left holding spear and leaning on shield.
Leg: VIRTVS AVG
Ex: R *  Greek_epsilon
Rome

I've checked RIC, Probvs.net as well as Pink for it, but I cant find the combination of this Soldier reverse-type and the short Legend VIRTVS AVG.
Maybe someone knows another example of this coin, or a reference work where it is quoted.

Thanks in advance,
Simon

Hello Simon,
I know 6 examples : 2 in Vienna, 1 in Oxford, 2 in private hands, 1 in the La Venèra hoard... Probably others  - I didn't check -in recently published coin hoards.

Hello Sylviane,

Many thanks for your reply, competent as always!
So it is still not the commonest coin, so my sense not deceived me  Wink.

Regards,
Simon
