| Reverse description | Crude barbarous imitation of the CONSECRATIO reverse type, depicting a schematic altar or funeral pyre, rendered in highly degenerate style with little regard for the original prototype. The central design element is reduced to a series of rough vertical and diagonal strokes suggesting the pyre construction. The surrounding field bears pseudo-epigraphic marks rather than a legible legend, with the inscription deteriorated to isolated strokes. The flan is small, thin, and irregularly shaped, consistent with unofficial barbarous radiate production. The overall execution is extremely crude, reflecting the lowest register of imitative coinage produced after the death of Claudius II. |
