Message:: [QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 3361011, member: 96898"]Nice barbarians everyone! Here are some more. I already posted the first one elsewhere, and would still argue that this is a Christmas coin. We can see Santa Claus on the obverse, and an elf riding on Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer on the reverse:[ATTACH=full]890834[/ATTACH]"Tetricus I" or similar, Roman Empire, barbarous radiate, late 3rd century AD, unofficial mint in Gaul or Britain. Obv: [...] I  II  II, bearded, radiate head r. Rev: V I [...]; human figure riding on stag l.; 13–14mm, 1.38g. Ex Ken Dorney. This one has a weak and blundered reverse. Any suggestions?[ATTACH=full]890836[/ATTACH]"Tetricus I," Roman Empire, barbarous radiate, late 3rd century AD, unofficial mint in Gaul or Britain. Obv: IMI TE[TRI]CVS PF A[VG], bearded, radiate head r. Rev: weak barbarous pattern, unclear. 14–15mm, 1.92g. Finally, a barbarous Salus that doesn't photograph well:[ATTACH=full]890835[/ATTACH] "Tetricus I," Roman Empire, barbarous radiate, late 3rd century AD, unofficial mint in Gaul or Britain. Obv: IMP TE[...], bearded, radiate head r. Rev: Salus standing facing, feeding snake emerging from altar and holding spear/anchor/rudder. 14.5–16.5mm, 1.81g.[/QUOTE]
