Rx: ANTIO - C - HI - A around, COLONIA in exergue, S - R across lower field, Concordia standing l. holding scepter over shoulder, between three standards on l. and three on r. From the Mark Gibbons Collection. The reverse type is apparently copied from the CONCORDIA MILIT type on middle bronzes and sestertii of Geta as Caesar, e.g. BMC pl. 50.10. The G of AVG at the end of the obverse legend had to be written very small because the engraver ran out of space.. gVF
