Tacitus, 25 September 275 - June 276 A.D.
|Tacitus|, |Tacitus,| |25| |September| |275| |-| |June| |276| |A.D.|, The reverse advertises a century of good fortune. For Tacitus, good fortune was already at its end. Shortly after this coin was struck, Tacitus died of fever. He began acting strangely, declaring that he would alter the names of the months to honor himself, before succumbing to a fever. In a contrary account, Zosimus claims he was assassinated.
