[QUOTE="Claudius_Gothicus, post: 5292775, member: 116315"]While I still don't have any coins of dear old T-Bone, I do have two coins of his son Volusian from the Antioch mint, both of which feature Aequitas on the reverse: [ATTACH=full]1222277[/ATTACH] Volusian (251-253), Antoninianus, Antioch mint, 3rd emission, third officina.
