| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped bust of the usurper Quietus facing right, rendered in the typical military portrait style of the mid-third century. The radiate crown, composed of evenly spaced pointed rays, identifies the denomination as an antoninianus. The cuirass and paludamentum are visible at the truncation, conveying imperial and martial authority. The surrounding legend is incuse in Latin capitals, distributed around the full circumference of the flan. The portrait exhibits the compact, somewhat schematic engraving characteristic of the Antioch mint during this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Quietus ruled only the eastern provinces after his father Macrianus and brother Macrianus the Younger marched west in 260 AD and were promptly destroyed by Aureolus near Aquileia. Left holding Antioch with co-usurper Ballista, Quietus never commanded a serious army and his coinage reflects a reign measured in months rather than years. Gallienus dispatched Odaenathus of Palmyra to finish the problem, and he did so efficiently — Quietus was killed by his own people at Emesa, likely late in 261.
The extremely short reign makes any issue from this series genuinely scarce.
