I think I have one of those CONCORDIA MILITVM ones ... Nope ... Similar design, but it's a pre-reform radiate IOVI ET HERCVLI CONS CAES:...

[IMG] Elagabalus AD 218-222, 3.28 g, 18.2 mm, 6 h. Fourrée Denarius, imitative issue, (after AD 250?). Unknown (Sarmatian?) mint. Obv: ΛNTONINVS...

Lovely! Middle bronzes of this empress depict Vesta standing left, holding a simpulum and Palladium with and without an altar at her feet. The...
