Commentary


Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges fines. Semble très rare avec cette variante de légende de droit (P pour pius = pieux). Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés. Dans le trésor de la Vènera , ce type de légende ne se rencontre que pour la deuxième officine (La Vènera 1564), la quatrième officine (La Vènera 1705-1707), la cinquième officine (La Vènera 1852-1853). Un seul exemplaire signalé, celui de la collection Kolb du Kunsthistorische Museum de Vienne (BN/RXII.1/ pl. 92, n° 378.
With all its surface silvering. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Thin pteryges. Seems very rare with this variant of the right legend (P for pius = pious). Missing from all the works consulted. In the treasure of the Venera, this type of legend is only found for the second officina (La Venera 1564), the fourth officina (La Venera 1705-1707), the fifth officina (La Venera 1852-1853). Only one example reported, that of the Kolb collection of the Kunsthistorische Museum in Vienna (BN/RXII.1/ pl. 92, no. 378

Historical background


TACITUS

(11-12/275-06/276)

According to A. Chastagnol, the interregnum lasts nearly two months, between the end of September and the beginning of December 275 at most. The same researcher establishes that Tacitus was not elected by the Senate alone, but with the help of the army, during a diplomatic ballet between Rome and the Pannonian armies, so that Tacitus would accept the purple. The date of his elevation poses a problem and the traditional date of September 25 may be called into question if the interregnum lasts until December. At the beginning of 276, Tacitus left Rome to fight the Goths who had invaded Asia Minor. He was finally assassinated at Tyana in Cappadocia..
