[QUOTE="Sulla80, post: 3831261, member: 99456"][USER=107246]@ancient times[/USER] - here's my version of your coin. Rome mint, officina four (Δ). Already about 75 when Tacitus was chosen by the senate on Sept 25, AD 275 - he didn't last long - neither did half-brother Florianus - many of the details that are "known" are questioned including his age and means of death by fever and exhaustion. I think your coin and mine differ in their bust details - yours looks like [URL='http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/3493']bust type D1[/URL] to me which would be "issue 2" minted November – December 275 in Rome. The reverse flatter on this coin.
