Salonina. Augusta, AD 254-268. Quinarius (16.5mm, 2.02 g, 5h). Viminacium mint. CORN SALONINA AVG, diademed and draped bust right / VESTA, Vesta standing left, holding torch(?), pointing downwards, and raising left hand. MIR 36, –, RIC V –. VF, porous.
Ex ArtCoins Roma E-Auction 28 (15 July 2015), lot 474.
The style of the bust on this coin is highly suggestive of Viminacium, cf aureus 859a, but the reverse type appears to be completely unrecorded on any Roman coin. The object in Vesta's right hand is uncertain, but it does not look like a patera, and there is no sceptre in her left hand.
