A Roman barbarous radiate of Postumus, c. AD 275-285 (Reece Period 14).
Notes:
The portrait seems clearly to be Marius, but the reverse type is closed to Victorinus's INVICTVS issues with Sol (Cunetio p148, 2524). It is possible that the reverse is Victory standing left, for Marius (Cunetio p148, 2508).
