Quietus. Usurper, A.D. 260-261. Antoninianus (3.75g). Samosata mint. 1st emission. Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / Aequitas standing left, holding scales and cornucopia. RIC V 2; MIR 44, 1727f; RSC 1b. Toned. aVF. Quietus was one of the short-lived crisis usurpers of A.D. 260-261, proclaimed in the eastern provinces after Valerian's capture by the Persians. His rule collapsed almost immediately when Odaenathus of Palmyra moved against him, making his coinage a brief, tangible witness to one of Rome's most unstable years.
