<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 25892408, member: 10613&quot;]This type from London was struck for Diocletian and Maximianus by Carausius, which is why the reverse legend ends with AVGGG. Carausius was hoping that Diocletian and Maximianus would recognize him as a co-ruler; which did not happen. The first part of the exergue is ML for Moneta Londinium and then XXI, which is a mark of value- probably 20 parts bronze to 1 part silver. S-P across the reverse fields might stand for Sacra Pecunia-- sacred money</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1649341[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Carausius</p><p>A.D. 291</p><p>24mm 4.3g</p><p>IMP C CARAVSIVS P F AVG; radiate and cuirassed bust right</p><p>PAX AVGGG; Pax stg. l., holding olive branch and transverse sceptre; S-P across fields.</p><p>In ex.
