Romano-British Empire, Carausius, Mid 286 - Spring or Early Summer 293 A.D.
|Carausius|, |Romano-British| |Empire,| |Carausius,| |Mid| |286| |-| |Spring| |or| |Early| |Summer| |293| |A.D.|, Adventus reverse types commemorate the emperor's arrival, either at the commencement of his reign or on his return from a distance. For most emperors, this type refereed to an arrival at Rome. At their accession, emperors were not conveyed in a chariot nor in any other vehicle, but went on horseback or on foot when they made their first public entry into the capital of the Roman world. Of course this coin cannot refer to an arrival in Rome. It likely refers to Carausius arriving at Londinium.
