Severus Alexander Posted March 14, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted March 14, 2023 My portraits of Tetricus I and II as well as Victorinus are on coins that have other problems. But I do think the portraits are pretty great. The Tetricus I, in particular, is IMO one of the lifelike I've seen of him, at a time when lifelike is awfully hard to find. (You may realize by now that I have a thing about lifelike portraits!) Tetricus I: Tetricus II: Victorinus (sorry, late!): 12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to hear @Ocatarinetabellatchitchix's expert views on portrait style at the various Gallic mints. Which mint produced the best portraits of Victorinus (and others)? Can the mints be distinguished easily based on style? One more coin to add here, I quite like this bushy-beard barb portrait of Tetricus I: 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
