Roman Coin for Gunner.

[CRUSADER]

Found this year.

I think I have narrowed it down to two emperors but can't decide.

Rev: SALVS AVG

Its 18mm (odd size!).

Help?

CRUSADER,

[Gunner]

Emperor: Tetricus I
Obverse Legend: IMP C TETRICVS PF AVG
Bust Type: Radiate Draped Curiassed
Reverse Legend: SALVS AVG
Salus standing RIGHT holding sceptre, and feeding snake arising from altar
Attribution: RIC V-2, 121variant
Rarity: C
Denomination: Antoninianus

This is the closest match I can find Crusader... I believe it is Tetricus I by the older looking portrait and this particular reverse type and obverse legend.

Will try to find a pic of another example.

Regards,

Gunner

Ask a question, someone will know.

Looks like it is Victorinus. I think my above attribution is indeed incorrect. The reverse type is for Victorinus and the legend fits. A gallic emperor for sure (They all look nearly the same!).

Great ID Gunner. I found a picture of a better struck one

CRUSADER, I have got to take a trip over there to do some detecting some time. It would be a blast! HH,
