Vabalathus, Estiot 1254
Vabalathus, AD 271-272
AE - Antonianus, 4.37g, 20.5mm, 180°
Antiochia, 1st emission, November 270-March 272, 6th officina
obv. IMP C AVRELIANVS AVG
bust, cuirassed, radiate, r,
below S (Digamma)
rev. VABALATHVS VC R IM DR
bust, draped and cuirassed, seen from behind, diademed and laureate, r.
RIC V/1, (Aurelian) 381 corr.; C.1; Estiot no.1254, pl.41
Scarce, about VF, nice light-brown sandpatina

On this type Vabalathus wears obviously a laurel-wreath and a taenia too. This is not mentioned in RIC nor elsewhere! Probably this type was struck by Zenobia to get the acceptance of his son as Augustus by Aurelian.
