COIN

Unique ID: BERK-94414B

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A copper alloy Roman radiate probably of Tetricus I, dating to the period AD 271-274. Reece period 13. PAX AVG reverse type. The lettering on the obverse of this coin seems crude and it is possible that this is a contemporary copy (barbarous radiate), which would then date from c. AD 275-285 (Reece Period 14).
