<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Claudius_Gothicus, post: 7560805, member: 116315&quot;]Thanks to the most recent Savoca Blue auction, I was able to add another one of these coins to my collection, bringing the total number of reverses that I own up to 5 out of 8. Let&#039;s hope that the others will come up for sale soon, too!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1303645[/ATTACH] </p><p>Claudius II (268-270), Antoninianus, Antioch mint, 4th emission.</p><p>Obverse: IMP C CLAVDIVS AVG, radiate head left;</p><p>Reverse: FELI-C A-VG, Felicitas standing right, veiled and holding baton in left hand, wheel at her feet, facing Fortuna standing left, holding rudder in right hand and cornucopia in left hand;</p><p>RIC V 206, RIC V Online 1083</p><p><br /></p><p>The bust is unfortunately not one of the fancy ones I described in the main post, but the simple and common one consisting just of a radiate head left; also, the coin has some encrustations which, in the auction photo, seemed very distracting, but now that I have the coin in hand I can say that they&#039;re not a big deal, though they do cover up some of the details on the reverse, which is unfortunate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
