    I agree it’s neat.
    To me, the lines on the arch on the reverse look a little bit too straight for 50AD. Based on that and the style of the portrait, although quite close to original style, my guess is Cavino.

    At risk of equal parts redundancy and superficiality, the lettering style just isn't convincingly 1st-century.
