SALVS AVG emperor to id
Csaba K:
Dear Friends,
could you help me to id the emperor on this SALVS AVG coin please?
shanxi:
size and weight please
First guess is a Tetricus Antoninian (barbaric ?)
Csaba K:
its 2.87gr
and 17 mm
djmacdo:
Surely Tetricus I
Ron C2:
I would echo tetricus I.
It may be difficult to nail it down definitively given how little of the obverse legend is visible, but the style, weight and diameter fit tetricus. Likely officiant and not barbarous given the quality of the portrait.
Interestingly, the silhouette looks a lot like Antoninus pius, but the fabric and reverse style is undoubtedly tetrican.
