    What a terrific post - so many nice coins here. I really like the coins of Tacitus, for reasons having to do with weird history (is he really responsible for the historian Tacitus's survival because he authorized so many copies of his works made? Some think this is the case). But also and because so many of his coins are quite attractive (and affordable).

    I only have two:

    Tacitus Ant Mars Aug 2018 (5).JPG

    Tacitus Æ Antoninianus
    (May-June 276 A.D.)
    Lyons Mint
    IMP CL TACITVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / MARS VICTOR
    Mars walking right holding spear and trophy, B to left, star to right.
    RIC 30, B; Cohen 57 (corr).
    (3.60 grams / 22 mm)

    Tacitus - SALVS Ant Nov 2018 (0).jpg

    Tacitus Æ Antoninianus
    (275-276 A.D.)
    Rome     Mint, Officina 4
    IMP CM CL TACITVS AVG, radiate draped, cuirassed bust right / SALVS AVG, Salus
    standing left, holding sceptre, feeding serpent rising from altar,XXIΔ in exergue.
    RIC 93 (3493 temp); Estiot 128.
    (3.99 grams / 22 mm)
