Any ideas on the reverse of this Carausius?

    Hi all!

    I'm having some trouble ID'ing this antoninianus of Carausius, as the reverse is overstruck. To me, it looks like SALVS AVG (on both the overtype and undertype), but I'm not sure. Does anyone else have any ideas? Thanks!

    I have no idea. Mine is Pax over Salus of Victorinus. I am not seeing yours as clearly. rt3455bb3118.jpg

    Oh wow, I have a coin of Coin of Carausius over Victorinus too! Mine has the bust of Victorinus visible on the reverse :)

    I think I can see a transverse sceptre or spear with the other hand seeming to hold something like a branch, so I'd bet that one of them is a Pax. The other? No clue.
