[QUOTE="seth77, post: 7949902, member: 56653"]A wonderful addition indeed. CONCORDIA MILITVM is not particularly rare for Tacitus but it does seem to be a specifically Siscia type and this late fifth issue goes from the previous IMP C M CL TACITVS P AVG obv legend to the (slightly) more basic IMP C M CL TACITVS AVG, which is the last form used for Tacitus at Siscia. All variations of this phase of the fifth emission are rather rare, so it is possible that they were some of the last emissions for Tacitus in the summer of 276. [ATTACH=full]1377230[/ATTACH] AE22 4.10g silvered billon antoninian IMP C M CL TACITVS AVG; radiate, cuirassed bust r. CONCORDIA MILITVM; Emperor togate stg. r., clasping the hand of Concordia stg. l. VI in exe BNC p.377, RIC V-1 183var. (bust type variation) [URL='http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/3842']RIC Online #3842[/URL][/QUOTE]
