    Hello I'm looking for reassurance here rather than help. I'm certainly no expert but since buying my first Roman in 1989, a Carausius Pax ant' I've developed a good eye for identifying them.
    I saw this on the famous online auction site, unidentified, for £4.00, I B quintillius Laetitia.jpg A quintillius.jpg thought Claudius Gothicus, but then thought no, it's his brother Quintillus.
    It's arrived today and now I'm hoping it isn't Claudius II. Opinions please, 21mm.

    RIC 22, XII in ex Quintillus AE Antoninianus. 270 AD. Rome mint. LAETITIA AVG, Laetitia standing left, holding wreath and anchor on globe, XII in exergue. Sear 11444.

    Cool. I find I'm fascinated with those short-reigning guys.
