COIN

Unique ID: SF-5093D5

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A Roman copper alloy radiate, probably a barbarous copy, of late third century AD date. Reverse: A female figure standing with both arms raised, a sceptre to the right behind her right arm. The obverse legend ends with the letters IO and it is perhaps possible to make out the letters DI at the start of the legend. This might indicate an obverse copying the DIVO CLAVDIO issues of Claudius II, althought the reverse is of the wrong type.
