Tetricus II
I hope you don't mind me adding attribute to this.
Tetricus II, son of Tetricus I. The last 4 letters of the obverse legend "CAES" determine the son on these coins. Not sure of age, not alot about him, but he was very young. Caesar in 273 and Augustus in 274. He and his father abdicated the throne in 274 rather than fight the better troups of Aurelian. Sparing their lives allowing them a nice life. Reverse is of SPES. "SPESAVGG" The 2 G's in the reverse denote joint rulers. Here, father and son. SPES, personification of hope, is holding a flower and raising her dress. The coin denomination is an antoninianus. The reverse can be seen as "Hope Standing". Doug
