Description: | Silver denarius of Carausius Date: 286-293 Diameter 20mm, thickness 1mm, weight 1.7g Obverse: Laureate, draped (and cuirassed?) bust facing right. Obverse inscription: IMP CARAVS[IVS P] F AV; Reverse: figure standing Reverse inscription: [ ](L?)..IT. AV. Condition: poor and possibly double-struck.Note by National Finds Adviser: The obverse is standard for denarii of Carausius. However, the reverse with an unclear female figure standing left with an altar in front of her is apparently an unrecorded type - it is not in RIC for any legend. Many of the denarii of Carausius have blundered letters - this one could read [ ]LIITI AV. It is just possible that this is a blundered version of LAETITIA, although the type does not match.RIC V, pt 2, -
