REVERSE

VIRTVS-MILITVM [VIRTVS MILITVM]; camp-gate, three turrets, no doors. ANTH in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED ISSUE. Similar to ANTIOCHIA 37a-43b but m.m. ANTH is not attested, as is also the obv. legend MAXIMIANVS P AVG. Note, however, crude style and very light weight, which indicates that this coin is in fact an ancient imitation. Could be mentioned in RIC before ANTIOCHIA 37a.

NOTES

Argenteus. Weight 2.00 g; diameter 18 mm. Sold on Leu Numismatik web auction 32 (lot 2177) in December 2024 for CHF 130.
