Barbarian Votive?

(1/3) > >>

Massanutten:
  This one is on it's way to me, so I am attaching the dealer's pic.  The reverse sorta, kinda, could be, reminds me of some of the 4th century votives that did not use a wreath.  
   As an aside, the obverse portrait reminds me of someone..... maybe from a comic strip??
    In any case, I've seen quite a few barbs, but this is the first time I've seen this one.  Anybody seen one similar to this?
Best regards, Bob

Very nice! Yep that's definitely barbaric, and I think there's a few similar ones in the Gallery.

These barbs are fascinating.  The barbarian celators often showed reasonable skill with portraits as here, but their spelling!  In this case, it appears that the celator just scattered letters willy-nilly over the reverse.

Massanutten:
Evan,
    Where in the gallery?
