24 ROMAN AND OTHER COINS FOUND AT LITTLE CHESTER. 



legend gone; rev., a female, partially draped, looking left, one 

 hand holds an offering, in the other is a flagellum, S.C. ; no 

 legend left. 



Another coin of this Emperor was given in Vol. XIII. (Plate 1., 

 Fig. 4, p. ii6), but it differs very much from this. (Fig. 3, Plate I.) 



The next coin. Fig. 4, we know nothing about ; perhaps 

 someone will supply a clue to it. 



IMP . C . VICTORINVS . P . F . AVG. Head to riglit, 

 with rayed crown ; no legend visible ; rev , part of standing 

 female, holding in left hand a cornucopia, the sceptre, reversed, 

 in right is all gone; legend, PR] 0V1DENT[IA. (Fig. 6, 

 Plate II.) 



There were two of this name, father and son, both so bad 

 that they were assassinated. It is curious to note that there

IMP . TET[ricvs . p . f. avg .] Head with rayed crown,

 perhaps E or A, for ROMA.

 of Spain, Britain, and Gaul. The two Tetricus were permitted 

 to retain the rank of Senator, and also their property in Rome. 

 They were prominent figures in the triumph of Aurelian, 

 together with Zenobia, queen of Palmyra, a.d. 273. (Fig. 5, 

 Plate II.) 



Fig. 7, Plate II., has another head of the same Emperor; there 

 is part of the legend, but it is not clear enough to decipher ; 

 rev., a female, partly draped, holds cornucopia in one hand, and 

 supports her robe with other ; legend probably PAX, the 

 remainder illegible.
