    Your obverse legend is IMP M OTHO CAE AVG. The legend always begins with IMP, no matter where it starts. Below is an example that I sold with the legend starting at 10 o'clock.

    Thanks for the clarification. Always satisfying to learn something new, even though I have a feeling I should have already known that. I love the way the legend on the coin you posted is read anti clockwise.
