OBVERSE

REVERSE

CONSERVAT-O-RUBRBISSVAE [CONSERVATOR UBRBIS SVAE]; Roma seated l. on shield, r. holding Victory on globe, l. leaning on sceptre. PR in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

[CORRECTION]. RIC cites for ROMA 143 specimen from Vienna (illustrated on plate 6!) and gives rev. legend CONSERVAT VRBIS SVAE. Actually, this coin has rev. legend CONSERVATOR VRBIS SVAE, i.e. like ROMA 144 (NAC 46, lot 699, 5.62 g) which means that ROMA 143 does not exist as a separate type.

Listed in Drost (p. 299, no. 15) with this correction.

NOTES

Aureus. Weight 5.38 g. Cited in RIC specimen from Vienna; picture from Drost (plate 18, no. 15b/3).
