Postumus, Romano-Gallic Emperor, 260-269. Antoninianus (Billon, 21 mm, 3.56 g, 5 h), a contemporary imitation from an irregular mint, after 266. IMP C P[...] Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Postumus to right. Rev. Diana, radiate, advancing right, holding long spear. Cf. AGK (corr.) 11, Cunetio 2430 and Elmer 396 (for prototype). Struck from a somewhat worn obverse die, otherwise, good very fine.


This is a particularly amusing imitation: the reverse copies an existing type, but the legend is totally blundered and Diana is wearing the radiate crown of Sol and holding a spear instead of a torch.
