Crispus BEATA from Trier with Victory on shield
« on: July 04, 2021, 10:18:33 AM »

This coin is not in RIC for the bust type; which looks to be draped and cuirassed, versus the normal cuirassed only types. There is also a Victory with wreath [and trophy] on the shield. This bust type is listed in Alten & Zschuke RMBT as Crispus #183 and the shield decoration is S4.
