                                Description

     This piece was minted at Aquileia in the name of Decentius, who
     served as Caesar under his brother Magnentius between 351 and 353
     AD. On receiving the news of his brother's suicide, Decentius
     also took his own life, on August 18, 353 AD. The obverse of this
     type depicts the bare-headed, draped, and cuirassed bust of
     Decentius facing right, with legends D.N.DECENTIVS.FORT.CAES, and
     the letter A behind the bust. The reverse features two victories
     holding a shield inscribed VOT.V.MVLT.X. The legends
     VICTORIAE.DD.NN.AVG.ET.CAES. appear around the Victories, with
     the mint/oficina mark AQS in the exergue. Coin shows a little
     reverse striking weakness, but otherwise grades VF/AVF, with
     clear to bold legends and devices where struck up, and is struck
     on a nice full size flan. A pleasing example of the bronze
     coinage of this scarcer Caesar! All coins guaranteed genuine
     without limitations. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped
     on clearance of funds. PA residents please add appropriate sales
     tax. MC/Visa accepted for purchases of $20 or more. Member ANA,
     PAN. Thanks!
