|
REVERSE
|
VIRTV-SAVGG [VIRTVS AVGG]; gateway with wide open doors of varying design, four turrets, varying number of stone layers, star above. PAR in exergue.

NOT IN RIC
|
UNLISTED MINTMARK. Mintmark similar to ARLES 264-279 except for dot instead of star (p. 263-264). However, note that according to RIC, Virtus Augg reverse was not introduced in Arles till the next issue [ARLES 291] (p. 265). Not listed in Ferrando. May be regarded as an ancient imitation. Otherwise, should be listed in RIC before ARLES 286.
