[QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 8208087, member: 96898"]A very interesting write-up! I had not seen a Claudius II with "C M AVR" in the obverse legend before, and it's fascinating to read about the historical context of Claudius Gothicus' "Adventus"-types. My first and so far only ancient purchase in 2022 is a Claudius II coin. I particularly like the reference to the Goths on the reverse: [SIZE=3][ATTACH=full]1439147[/ATTACH] Claudius II Gothicus, Roman Empire, BI antoninian, 268–270 AD, Kyzikos mint. Obv: IMP CLAVDIVS P F AVG; bust of Claudius Gothicus, radiate, draped, r. Rev: VICTORIAE GOTHIC; trophy between two seated captives; in exergue, SPQR. 20mm, 2,58g. Ref: RIC V Claudius Gothicus 252.[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
