The term 'barbarous radiates', dating from its use by antiquarians in the 19th century, is still often used to refer to the locally produced unofficial coins which imitated the official Roman antoninianii of the period. These coins were not struck by barbarians outwith the Empire as the name would suggest, nor were they intrinsically forgeries or fakes. Instead they were the result of a period of great instability within the Roman empire during which the western provinces especially often experienced a severe lack of coinage. To fill this void small denomination coinage was unofficially issued in very large numbers. Though some of these coins are fairly close copies of the official coins which they imitate, many others have been produced by die engravers who were patently illiterate and often of limited ability artistically as well. Around 274 Aurelian banned the use of these imitative bronzes when he reformed the currency but it is possible that some "barbarous radiates" were still being produced after that date. Whether individual coins are of British or Continental mintage can really only be ascertained by provenance.

RARE

This is an irregular issue (barbarous radiate) giving Tetricus II the title of Augustus rather than Caesar.
Interestingly the Historia Augusta makes this statement with regard to Aurelian's triumph in A.D.274. "In the procession was Tetricus also, arrayed in a scarlet cloak, a yellow tunic, and Gallic trousers, and with him his son, whom he had proclaimed in Gaul as Imperator." (Historia Augusta, xxxiv, iii). Imperator was a title that invariably, when referring to an Imperial figure, implied the rank of Augustus, but no regular official coinage issues of Tetricus II citing him as such are known.

Gallienus~1.jpg
046a. GallienusCo-Augustus (with Valerian) 253 -260
Sole Augustus 260 - 268

After Valerian was seized by the Sasanids, Gallienus took control in the midst of a security crisis. It did not get any better for him as the central government lost control of Gaul, Britain, and Spain. Gallienus had shown earlier that he was an able commander, but he was unable to cope with the multiple threats. In operations against Aureolus, Gallienus killed by one of his own officers. Future emperors Claudius II and Aurelian were involved in the plot.

Probably born in Illyricum of peasant background. Rose through ranks of army. Proclaimed emperor about May 270 by the legions in Sirmium and defeated Quintillus. As emperor, had significant military victories and largely restabilized the frontiers, including the Gallic secessionist state. Killed by some officers after they feared he would punish them.

TET_1.jpg
061a. Tetricus IAugustus "Gallic Empire" 271 - 274 AD

Nephew of Victorina, mother of Victorinus, who nominated him. Lost a battle to Aurelian, and the Gallic Empire was restored to Roman control. The battle itself may have been essentially a sham (except of course for the soldiers who fought and died), because both Tetricus and his son Tetricus II survived and in fact prospered as nobles in the empire.

062a. VabalathusKing of Palmyra 267-272
"Augustus", 272

Son of Odaenathus, close ally of Gallienus. Vabalathus was 10 years old when his father died. His mother, Zenobia (who also struck coins), was the Queen of Palmyra. Vabalathus was not granted the same rights as his father by the Romans, and he rose against them. Ultimately defeated by Aurelian, and he and his mother were captured and led through Rome in a triumphal procession. Afterwards, however, they were allowed to live comfortably in Italy.
