Among the Thessalonian pantheon was an interesting figure called Cabirus. The cult of Cabirus was centered in Macedonia and Thrace. It focused on a legendary young man who was murdered by his two brothers. It was said that Cabirus would return one day to aid the powerless of the city. His symbol was the hammer, and he easily became associated with and worshipped by the working class in Thessalonica. Although no one knows why, at some point the Cabirus cult was taken over by the ruling elite and included in the official cult. Since it was common belief in those days that the gods listened more attentively to the wealthy than to the poor, the powerless of Thessalonica felt as though their hope had been taken from them.

In the light of the Cabirus cult, it is easy to understand how Paul’s preaching of Jesus could have easily gained traction in Thessalonica. After all, Jesus himself, like Cabirus, was a young man wrongly murdered who had indeed risen from the dead to bring good news to the poor and downtrodden. (Murphy-O’Connor, 74-75)

Victorinus_Pax.JPG
Victorinus PaxRIC 118? 268 - 270 AD

Helvita's spreadsheet: Cadebury Treasure, CHRB II, P- 11, Vinters Park hoard , Elmer 682 var
In general, the Pax-reverse is extremely common for Victorinus*. srukke's type with V - */palm is Cunetio 2543 (597 specimens) or
Cunetio 2547 (350 specimens), depending on whether the obverse legend has dots or not (IMP C VICTORINVS•P•F•AVG being 2547).


OK, Cunetio shows 2543 (597 found) and 2547 (350 found) simply as V branch left star, so it doesn't that one is above the other and unfortunately
these are 2 of the coins which are not illustrated. However, the Cadebury Hoard list DOES describe one as being above the other.
Cunetio 2540 is described as unclear (V?*) but seeing as it also says "cf Elmer 682", and the others also have "cf Elmer 682" I presumed that it
could also be a palm branch and star. RIC 118 does not mention a palm branch at all but just has V* and the RIC example illustrated on plate
XIV (n0. 14) does not have a palm branch.
But there can't have been many in that list otherwise I wouldn't have described it as rare.
With these field symbols rare.
