Carausius. Romano-British Emperor, AD 286-293. Antoninianus (20.5mm, 3.48 g, 7h). Londinium (London) mint. Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Mars advancing right, holding transverse spear and trophy over shoulder; ML. RIC V 88 var. (obv. legend). Dark brown-red patina with some green, reverse slightly off center, slight die wear. EF. High grade and struck in outstandingly high relief.

From the Dr. Malcolm Lyne Collection, purchased from David Miller, 16 February 2012.

The III given for the exergue legend of this issue in RIC is likely the same as on this coin but is simply a very tightly cut ML rather than a III.
