It appears to be as bronze as you can get. The references say it was minted in Antioch but I can’t help imagine it was minted out of bronze by a field mint on campaign. The presumptive VICTORIA AVGG makes me smile too.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1652102[/ATTACH] </p><p>Valerian</p><p>OBV: IMP VALERIANVS PF AVG.
