Description

Robertson 2000, 140 no. 617:

""Plymouth Citadel. Date of Deposition c. 275. Discovered in or shortly before 1918. i. Postumus RIC 316
ii. Victorinus RIC 1
iii. Victorinus 118
iv. Tetricus I RIC 87..
These four antoniniani of similar appearance and state of wear are together in Plymouth Museum with the sole documentation 'Citadel 1918'. They thus appear to be part or even all of a hoard of such coins found there in or shortly before 1918."
-Note, 1978, from N. Shiel"

Notes

Victorinus RIC 1 presumably an error (not an aureus). Latest coin RIC 87 is Tetricus I LAETITIA AVGG
