Claudius II

Siscia mint

IMP CLAVDIVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust facing to the right.
LAETITIA AVG, Laetitia standing to the left, holding a wreath and a Cornucopiae.

 looking at the letters it could be laetitia  the link gives an idea of how it fits    +++ +++

I think its not barbarous. That type of coin is specific for rule of Claudius II and Galienus(and that period).
