Ex Numismatic Fine Arts XXVII, (1991), 178; Baldwin's 57 (2008), lot 21. Very little is known about Nigrinianus; he is presumed to have been the son of Carinus and Magna Urbica. An epigraph also identifies him as Carus' grandson. He certainly died very young and obtained the 'consecratio' as evidenced by the rare posthumous coins portraying him.
