Commentary


Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges fines. Le Docteur Bastien n’avait relevé que quinze exemplaires dans son corpus en 1976. Nous n’avons relevé aucune liaison de coin pertinente pour les revers (B. 136 et 147) pas plus que pour le droit au niveau des droits des quatre officines (B. 133 à 137).
Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Thin pteryges. Doctor Bastien had only noted fifteen examples in his corpus in 1976. We did not note any relevant die connection for the reverses (B. 136 and 147) nor for the obverse at the obverse of the four offices (B. 133 to 137)

Historical background


FLORIANUS

(06-08/276)

Florian, prefect of the praetorium of Tacitus, is certainly not his brother or half-brother because he does not wear the same gentile as him (Claudius/Annius). He cannot stay in power because Probus is acclaimed emperor. He is assassinated by his own soldiers in Tarsus. The coinage continues to be minted after his death, possibly until late September or early October.
