Very nice portrait on that coin @Clavdivs and I see why you kept coming back to it. Awesome too that it arrived before total shut-down. -d

 

That’s a beauty @Clavdivs , congrats on a great new addition.

In my limited experience, sellers rarely specify which edition of RIC they're citing in their coin descriptions. For that reason, in my description of my one Titus coin, I listed both references (and have tried to do the same for other coins covered by two editions of RIC):

Titus Caesar AR Denarius 77-79 AD, Obv.: Laureate bust right, T CAESAR VESPASIANVS (legend is counter-clockwise) / Rev. Annona seated left, leaning elbow on seat and raising drapery, ANNONA AVG. RIC II-1 972V (2007 ed.), old RIC II 218 (1926 ed.), RSC II 17 (ill.), Sear RCV I 2436 (ill.), BMCRE 319. 18.55 mm., 3.01 g.

 

The portrait of the OP is a beauty.
