Romano-Gallic Empire, Tetricus II, Spring 274 A.D.
|Tetricus| |II|, |Romano-Gallic| |Empire,| |Tetricus| |II,| |Spring| |274| |A.D.|, Spes was the Roman personification of Hope. In art Spes is normally depicted carrying flowers or a cornucopia, but on coins she is almost invariably depicted holding a flower in her extended right hand, and raising a fold of her dress with her left hand. She was also named "ultima dea" - for Hope is the last resort of men.
