| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Victoria advancing left, depicted as a winged figure wearing a short tunic, holding a wreath extended forward in her right hand and a palm branch in her left. She strides dynamically across a low base or ground line, her wings prominently spread behind her. The legend VICTORIA AVGG is distributed around the field within a beaded border, proclaiming the victory of the two Augusti. The composition reflects the standard Roman imperial Victory type employed on Antiochene coinage of the crisis period, and the coin retains a suspension hole at the top edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Quietus ruled only the eastern provinces — Syria, Egypt, and parts of Asia Minor — after his father Macrianus and brother Macrianus the Younger marched west and were killed by Aureolus's cavalry in 261. Struck at Antioch under the supervision of the finance minister Ballista, who was the real power holding the rump state together, these aurei represent one of the shortest and most geographically constrained imperial coinages of the third century.
When Odaenathus of Palmyra moved against him, Quietus was abandoned by Ballista and lynched by the citizens of Emesa.
