Roman radiate with Cantharos I S [solved]

3 posts • viewed 111 times

Obverse is to worn but has a radiate visible. Reverse has what looks like a Greek cantharos vase and I and S. Seeking info at least on the figures on the reverse. 16mm, 1mm, 2.7g, bronze

The reverse are sacrificial implements commonly found on Roman coins thorough out almost the whole duration of the Empire. The radiate crown makes it an antoninianus. My best guess judging from portrait alone would be Tetricus II.

 

 

It could also be a number of other emperors: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?r=antoninianus+sacrificial+implements&st=all&cat=y&im1=&im2=&ru=&ie=&ca=3&no=&v=&a=&dg=&i=&b=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&g=&se=&c=&wi=&sw=

Thank you kindly. This is the first Roman I've owned with this type of reverse. I was able to find one that is spot on by searching “PIETAS”
