<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lehmansterms, post: 2735606, member: 80804&quot;]At the size and with the lack of useful legend on the obverse, it <i>could</i> theoretically be a contemporary copy of almost anyone, but Tetricus I is by far the most likely prototype, and without any evidence that it&#039;s anyone else, you should probably go with that ID. As for the reverse, I&#039;m almost certain that&#039;s Pax. She&#039;s holding an olive-branch (off-flan) and scepter - and once again, Pax was the overwhelming choice for reverse device by the numerous contemporary copiers of the era.&nbsp; I guess it was a combination of the intent of the personification - peace in a turbulent time - the simplicity of the figure, and the fact that it took the engraving of only 6 letters to finish the reverse die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
