Le casque est pourvu de nombreux globules sur la visière et la partie supérieure du casque. Le couvre nuque est timbré de cinq globules posés en carré et centrés. La cuirasse est formée d’écailles. Pierre Bastien avait relevé seize exemplaires en 1976. Même coin de droit que l’exemplaire du Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, Bastien n° 475f, pl.

Historical background


CARUS

(09/282-07/283)

Carus is proclaimed in Rhaetia at the end of August 282. Probus is assassinated in Sirmium. Carus entrusts the rank of Caesar to his eldest son Carin at the end of October, then to his other son, Numérien, in December. Carus named his august sons in March 283. In the spring of 283, he began a brilliant campaign against the Sassanids, took Ctesiphon, their capital, but was struck down by lightning in July 283. Numerian, who accompanied him, was charged with bringing back the troops.
