Comments
The Spes reverse is taken from the coins of Tetricus I, not Victorinus.
Found in Britain. British barbarous radiates were apparently produced between the reigns of Victorinus (268AD) and c274AD, when the Gallic Empire was reincorporated into the Roman Empire and Aurelian banned barbarous issues.
