Tacitus, 25 September 275 - June 276 A.D.
|Tacitus|, |Tacitus,| |25| |September| |275| |-| |June| |276| |A.D.|, RIC lists this coin under Ticinum in error. P.H. Webb fixes these attribution errors in his preface to the second part of RIC V.

Tacitus was a senator and received power from the Senate. He remained loyal and restored powers to the Senate that had been taken years before. Considering this, it could be Tacitus receiving the globe from Rome, or it could be Rome who receiving the globe from Tacitus. Perhaps they hold it together.
