The goddess is &quot;Spes&quot;, the god of hope. None can be found on any online references nor is there very many photos of other examples online.</p><p><br /></p><p>Due note the coin is rough due to having less then 20% silver in it, rest being bronze so many from this period are harsh, this is nice compared to most.</p><p><br /></p><p>Poor kid died young either by plague or murdered, we dont know.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i50.tinypic.com/34nmtls.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Valerian II (256 - 258 A.D.)</b></p><p><b>AR </b>Antoninianus</p><p>O: .
