Commodus gateway Augusta Traiana

This just in today's mail, from a lot of Roman Imperial AEs, a problematical Augusta Traiana of, I think, Marcus Aurelius with the city gate and towers as well as a lounging god in the foreground. I think it is: RPC IV.1, 10328 (temporary)

Any better suggestions always appreciated.

Thank you very much. I got that several years ago from Sergey Nechayev

Here is his full attribute:

Flavius Victor: Roman Emperor: 384-388 A.D.
Bronze AE4 (14mm,1.83 grams) Aquileia: 384-388 A.D.
Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust right.
Camp gate with two turrets; star above.
Reference: SMAQS. RIC IX 55b.2; LRBC 1104

 

Nice to have one in any shape, very scarce coin.

 

Just noticed a 2016 thread that I posted called "the one that got away" my OP is a die match for this one, here is what I posted back then...............
Even with my best efforts and willingness to pay heaps, this Commodus, Augusta Traiana coin just kept going up at the just closed biddr.ch auction,
I wanted it to complement my Septimius Severus (193-211 AD) coin of the same location. Interesting only about 20 years earlier the difference in the rendering of the city gate/battlement towers. Commodus had an arched entrance gate, and five windows in the towers. Septimus Severus had square doorway, and a row of what looks like windows above. Anyway I will live to fight another day, directly below the Commodus of similar size and weight to an Imperial sestertius, and below that my coin. Thrace, Augusta Traiana, Septimus Seveverus 15.4gm, 29mm Varbanov 961.
So it didn't get away after all !!!!!!

 

Maximinus II
A.D. 308
25mm 5.9gm
GAL VAL MAXIMINVS NOB CAES; laureate head right.
VIRTVS MILITVM; camp-gate with portcullis surmounted by four turrets.
