[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 7442317, member: 84905"]Here is another Tacitus Antoninian from my collection. IMP CM CLA TACITVS AVG // LAETITIA AVG -- XX Mint: Ticinium The coin shows a particularly nice portrait. Note the long curls that extend from the temple down to the beard in front of the ear. The obverse has a high relief, giving the coin a somewhat medallic appearance. The reverse legend is a bit odd. It reads: LAE [U]SE [/U]TIA AVG instead of LAE [U]TI[/U] TIA AVG. Maybe the reverse die was damaged. [ATTACH=full]1291254[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
