<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 8372736, member: 87809&quot;]Apart from the Gaius and Lucius denarii designating them as PRINC IVVENT, that is first among the youth. I only have one coin with IVVENTVS, a Claudius II Gothicus Antoninianus, which still has a nice silvering.</p><p><br /></p><p>On Imperial coins, Iuventas and Spes are often associated with the reigning Caesar. She was especially the goddess of young men who had just come of age. A supplication to Iuventas and Spes marked the anniversary of Augustus&#039; coming of age and Iuventas was among the many Virtues on the coinage of Antoninus Pius.</p><p><br /></p><p>Antiochia ad Orontem, 268 - 270 AD Mintmark: -/-//Δ, Emission 5 c</p><p>19.6 x 21.5 mm; 4.120 g</p><p>RIC V Antioch 213; Hunter 77;</p><p><br /></p><p>Ob.: IMP C CLAVDIVS AVG radiate and draped bust right.</p><p>Rev.: IVVENTVS AVG Hercules standing facing, head left, holding club set on ground in r. hand and apple or globe in l. hand, lion-skin draped over left arm; In ex.
