Similar to RIC 115.

NOTE: Based on discussions on the Forum discussion board, these imitative sestertii were minted primarily in Britain, Spain, and Gaul to serve the need for local coinages. Some were countermarked with DV to indicate that they had the value of a dupondius. They reportedly are particularly common finds at military posts and in civilian settlements near those posts.lawrence c

010. VespasianSpes

In Roman mythology, Spes was the goddess of hope. She was traditionally defined as "the last goddess" (Spes, ultima dea), meaning that hope is the last resource available to men.
There was a temple to her in the Forum Holitorium. In art, Spes was depicted hitching her skirt while holding a cornucopia and flowers. Spes personified hope for good harvests, and for children, and was invoked at births, marriages, and other important times.

Her Greek equivalent was Elpis.

061a01. Tetricus IAugustus "Gallic Empire" 271 - 274 AD

Nephew of Victorina, mother of Victorinus, who nominated him. Lost a battle to Aurelian, and the Gallic Empire was restored to Roman control. The battle itself may have been essentially a sham (except of course for the soldiers who fought and died), because both Tetricus and his son Tetricus II survived and in fact prospered as nobles in the empire.
