[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 7886170, member: 75143"]I have a few Gallic imitations, and I love them all. Carausius. Possible VIRTVS reverse. [ATTACH=full]1360376[/ATTACH] Tetricus I. I say I instead of II because I think I see the [I]hint[/I] of a beard. Probably a Spes reverse, but it's anybody's guess. [ATTACH=full]1360377[/ATTACH] Tetricus II with the sharp bearded jaw of Tetricus I, but with NO beard, so I guess we can go with Jr. For a 12mm module, the PAX reverse is actually rather pleasing. [ATTACH=full]1360378[/ATTACH] For good measure, the smallest Claudius II imitation I have, a whopping 13mm. Despite the crammed flan with a portrait that only a mother could love, I suspect the die itself had accurate lettering if the DI- on the obv is any indication. It's hard to ruin a square altar, so I can't really comment on that quality. [ATTACH=full]1360379[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
