I discovered a scare Saloninus and rare Salonina. They came from a large lot of high quality Antoninianus and definitely were not expected. <i>Sorry for the crummy photos, they were quickly taken with my phone</i>:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1586626[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1586624[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Authority:&nbsp; </b>Saloninus (Augustus 260 AD)</p><p><b>Denomination:&nbsp; </b>AR Antoninianus</p><p><b>Mint:&nbsp; </b>Asia (256 AD)</p><p><b>Obverse: SALON VALERIANVS NOB CAES, </b>Radiate, draped bust right</p><p><b>Reverse</b>: <b>SPES PVBLICA, </b>Spes, draped, presenting flower to Saloninus with right hand and holding skirt with left hand; Saloninus in military attire and holding spear</p><p><b>References: </b>RIC V, Part i, 36</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1586625[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Authority:&nbsp; </b>Salonina</p><p><b>Denomination:&nbsp; </b>AR Antoninianus</p><p><b>Mint:&nbsp; </b>Antioch (254 – 255 AD)</p><p><b>Obverse: CORN SALONINA AVG, </b>Diademed and draped bust right on crescent</p><p><b>Reverse</b>: <b>CONCORDIA AVGG, </b>Concordia seated left, holding patera and double cornucopia</p><p><b>References: </b>RIC -; Sear -; Göbl (MIR 36) 1567g</p><p>Extremely rare, less then 20 examples known[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
