Hello,

i stumbled on this one:

Tacitus, (Antioch mint ?), officina 8, 275-276 AD.,
Æ Antoninianus (21-22 mm / 3,67 g),
Obv.: IMP C TACITVS AVG , radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Tacitus right.
Rev.: RESTITVTOR O - [RB]IS / Z / XXI , female (Victory?) standing r., presenting wreath to Tacitus standing left, holding scepter.
RIC V - ; Forum galleries - ; wildwinds - ; coinarchieves - ; .... .

The portrait style is close to Gallienus/Claudius/Aurelian emissions of Antioch.
A short, early issue when he or his portrait bust had not arrived at Antioch?


Regards

The portrait of Tacitus is really interesting and do not look at all the character found on the currency classic! :affraid:
As you watched on the RIC ou Coin Archive if there were another example?

RIC V - ; Forum galleries - ; wildwinds - ; coinarchieves - ; .... .

Curtis Clay meanwhile found:

"Yes, first issue at Antioch, Paris 1814 (officina S).

Oxford has one with officina Z like yours, according to Estiot's table, pp. 436-7."
