The obverse legend M COMM ANT AVG P BRIT FEL is not recorded for this reverse type in RIC (published in 1930). However, such a coin is in the British Museum Catalogue (Published 1940) because the British Museum acquired an example from the L. A. Lawrence collection in 1937.

SRS is an erroneous form of RSR and it appears on a small number of other pieces. The overall style of the coin suggests it is one of the later coins of the silver issue. There are two other know denarii which show Roma in a temple, but they have different legends. This coin is the first of its…

This is a contemporary copy of a sestertius of Antoninus Pius. It combined an obverse from his COS IIII issues (c.AD 145-161), with a reverse type that has a blundered Hilaritas legend, which only appears in earlier issues of his coinage (e.g. RIC III, no. 606). However, the figure is not correct for Hilar…
