Victorinus with portrait of Marius. Antoninianus; Victorinus with portrait of Marius; 268-270 AD, Antoninianus, 3.35g. Cunetio-2561 (77 spec.). Obv: IMP C P VICTORINVS AVG Radiate, cuirassed bust r., seen from front, with features of Marius. Rx: AEQVITAS AVG Aequitas standing l. holding scales and cornucopia.This coin shows that when emperors changed, sculptures used for portraiture did not; thus, this scarce Victorinus issue bears the portrait of Marius (who certainly ruled longer than the three days accorded him by one of the ancient historians).
