ALFOLDI 005.042 (but Alfoldi does not mention any cuirass decorations)
COLLECTION NO. 772
Note: extremely rare cuirass decoration in the form of a laurel wreath (probably corona triumphalis). In the coinage of Probus such laurel wreath is typically represented only on consular robe (toga picta + tunica palmata) not on cuirass. Apparently only the second known specimen of such cuirass decoration!
