<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 7885685, member: 85693&quot;]Just in the mail today from the &quot;unattributed&quot; bowels of eBay&nbsp; - a Claudius II VICTORIA(E?) GOTHIC with the trophy and captives.&nbsp; Pretty thrilled to get one of these - I was lusting after the ones posted above.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m having a bit of a time attributing it - it is a head (not a draped, etc. bust) with what might be an aegis and two dots below.&nbsp; Wildwinds has one like this, apparently from this CNG auction: <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=729403" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=729403" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=729403</a></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5"><b>Description</b></font></p><p>Claudius II Gothicus. AD 268-270. Antoninianus (21mm, 3.51 g, 11h). Cyzicus mint, 2nd officina. 4th emission, late AD 269. IMP CLAVDIVS P F AVG, radiate bust right, wearing aegis on far shoulder; two pellets below / VICTORI A E GOTHIC, trophy; bound captive seated to left and right. Normanby 1107 var. (no aegis); cf.
