Rx: VICT AVG TR P II COS II P P Victory advancing r. holding wreath and palm. Ex Curtis L. Clay Collection. Struck on thin, underweight flan.

RSC 690b cites an example of this denarius with IMP II from the Gnecchi Collection in Rome; otherwise not in the standard reference works with IMP II. . aEF (375)
