Rx: P M TR P VIIII IMP VI COS IIII P P Felicitas standing l. holding short caduceus and cornucopia, altar at feet. Cohen-445 and BM-106 see a modius containing wheat ears at Felicitas' feet, a strange attribute for that personification. On our specimen it is clearly a lighted and garlanded altar, which fits better with Felicitas. . Toned EF (400)
