<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Choucas, post: 7563660, member: 100117&quot;]Very nice addition and a lovely collection. I almost bought the VICTORINO PO. It stayed quite a long time in my watch list (but you know, choices...). I was surprised it didn&#039;t sold in the auction it was featured and stayed that long on ma-shops, it was (in my opinion) reasonably priced for its quality and eye-appeal. It&#039;s really nice, glad you have it! </p><p><br /></p><p>Note that the CONSACRATIO spelling is also present on the coins from Cologne struck for Valerian II. A local pronunciation might be the explanation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately I don&#039;t have any Divo Victorino to share <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":inpain:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. So instead of a late Victorinus here&#039;s an early one I got &quot;recently&quot; and one of the reasons I didn&#039;t get the Divo.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1304146[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Victorinus, antoninian, Trier (1st issue, 269)</b></p><p><u>Obv.</u> : IMP C M PIAVVONIVS VICTORINVS P F AVG</p><p><u>Rev.</u> : FIDES MILITVM</p><p>Mairat 560 ; Cunetio 2515</p><p>4.25g (that makes it the second heaviest known if I&#039;m not mistaken)</p><p><br /></p><p>And a CONSACRATIO I got for about a fiver recently (not the best condition for this fairly common coin but I couldn&#039;t pass for that price). Not of Victorinus of course, but a Valerian II.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1304152[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
