<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3193693, member: 98035&quot;]The mint at Rome was managed by one Felicissimus during the reigns of Claudius II, Quintillus, and Aurelian. He was deeply corrupt, letting the quality of his products slip while he skimmed silver from the antoninianii to line his own pockets. Aurelian had him killed for his crimes, and there was a poorly documented revolt among mint workers, some of which seem to have packed up and left, possibly taking some dies with them. These extremely small-module antoninianii featuring Claudius II are probably from this time, but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s possible to determine if they are Rome mint products, or post-rebellion &quot;irregular&quot; issues. They are much better than the ugly copies of the Tetricii that came from Gaul and Britain.</p><p><br /></p><p>E: The reverse of your coin is MARS VLTOR[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
