UNLISTED OBVERSE TYPE. Specimen similar to ANTIOCH 113 (Savoca Numismatik 17th blue auction, lot 1896, 1.58 g, 16 mm) except for Roma on obv. turned r., not l., and ROMA VRBS in obv. legend instead of VRBS ROMA. Unusual shape of plume on helmet. Good style but note that this coin could be regarded as an ancient imitation.
