UNLISTED ISSUE. Seller attributed this coin as ROMA 48 (BM 1867,1223.11, 1.471 g, 17 mm) but there is rather A in exergue than R. Style suggests that this specimen could be also TICINUM 27a (Vico 133, lot 2592) with distorted T in exergue. However, unknown issue from Aquileia could not be absolutely excluded. In such case coin should be listed after AQUILEIA 19b.

NOTES

Fraction. Weight 1.47 g; diameter 16 mm. Coin sold on Heritage Auctions auction 232314 (lot 61172) in April 2023 for USD 170.
