IMP CAE C VAL HOS MES QVINTVS AVG |
I have never seen one of these but I have seen two of the unlisted variant below. This coin may just be a case where Cohen/RIC list the wrong obverse legend and the coin doesn't exist. |

IMP C MES QVINTVS AVG |
Unlisted short obverse legend. Rome mint. Coins of Hostilian as Augustus are very interesting because they are struck by Trebonianus for the surviving son of his predecessor Decius, while making his own son only Caesar - an occurrence unique in Roman history. Here we see the concord, or agreement within the imperial family. Who knows what happened. A few ancient writers say that Hostilian died of plague, but Zosimus (who really liked Decius but despised Gallus) says that Gallus had the boy emperor murdered. |

A normal reverse for Hostilian as Caesar. If the type exists then it is likely a mule. |

Questionable Types

IMP C MES QVINTVS AVG |
One example known - a base metal coin in the Dorchester Hoard. That coin is likely an ancient forgery and this type never officially existed. |
