| Reverse description | Standing figure, likely a deity or personification imitating a standard Tacitus reverse type such as Pax or Felicitas, rendered in a highly schematic and barbarous manner with indistinct attributes. The figure appears to hold an object in one or both hands, though the crude workmanship makes precise identification difficult. The surrounding legend is entirely blundered, comprising imitative pseudo-Latin letterforms that are largely illegible and bear no coherent meaning. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, with significant flat areas consistent with poor die alignment and inadequate flan preparation. The overall execution is typical of late third-century barbarous radiates produced beyond the boundaries of official Roman mint control. |
