Rome. Ancient. Crispus. AE3.
-London. (VM23) Crispus/2 Victories. bronze.
Grade:VF
'316-326 A.D. Struck at London, Crispus.
Pretty deep
green patina. [L550049]
Next Bid: $26.00
Note: This is not VanMeter 32 as originally described
on wildwinds, because VanMeter's listings for Crispus ends 
at no. 28.
From the altar design, obverse and reverse legends this 
must be a coin from Trier, not London, with the mintmark
STR. However, the somewhat crude drapery and cuirass lines
on the obverse points to it being a barb.

I will keep this on wildwinds because it is unusual to see
barbs of this reverse type for Crispus.
