CARUS. Antoninian. (Ae. 3.69g / 22mm). 282 AD Lugdunum. (RIC does not quote). Ob: Radiated and draped bust of Caro on the right, around legend: IMP CM AVR CARVS PF AVG. Rev: Salus standing on the right feeding a patera snake in his hands, in field D, around legend: SALVS AVG. Extremely Fine. Extraordinarily rare, another copy of similar quality sold on 09/15/2017 by the Paul-Francis Jacquer house for € 700, to get an idea of the rarity of this piece, the French auction house offered it as a unique piece.

The reign of Caro and therefore of his sons, Carino and Numeriano, was really brief and with a common denominator: the military campaigns. Perhaps this is the reason why, as far as currency is concerned, we are in a period of continuity and where there are no great news if we ignore the mints of Lugdunum and Siscia of some double Antoninians. On an aesthetic level, if there is a change to take into account: the portraits on the obverse are more sober, less varied than in previous times and the realism, as can be seen in Caro's baldness, surpasses the idealization of his predecessors .

The usurper Elect ruled between 293 and 296 AD the provinces of Britain and northern Gaul until he was defeated by Constantius Chlorus. The limited chronological and spatial margin of their issues gives these coins a certain rarity that does not go unnoticed by the collector. As with the Carausian coins, with which it shares many similarities, the portraits suffer from the technical roughness of the production, although they show great vigor in their representation.
