Regalianus, 260 – 261
Regalian, usurpator in Pannonia had coins issued for himself and his wife Dryantilla which are usually overstruck on previous denarii, often from the Severan period, and of very poor craftsmanship. He clearly had no professional mint within his reach. AMP. Antoninianus, Carnuntum circa 260-261, AR 2.67 g. IMP C P C REGAL[IANVS A]VG Radiate head r. Rev.
