[QUOTE="Claudius_Gothicus, post: 6451746, member: 116315"]Awesome coin, though this time the challenge to identify its owner was far trickier; while there were no language clues like in the last entry, I am still relatively confident that this coin belongs to [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] - I feel like that the way the description was written follows his usual type of writing, and I also believe that the reasonings behind the acquisition (the historical significance of the style and the provenance, in particular), follow his kind of collecting style. I don't have anything close to it neither in geographic location nor in time period, unfortunately, so here's a coin that has a winged Victory on the reverse, at least: [ATTACH=full]1256963[/ATTACH] Valerian II (255-258), Antoninianus, Samosata mint. Obverse: P LIC COR VALERIANVS CAES, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust, seen from behind; Reverse: VICTORIA PART, Victory standing right, presenting wreath to Valerian II, holding spear; RIC 54[/QUOTE]
