The right facing version (RIC 1058) is not rare. This left facing variety is. I know it is quite worn, but it is the first I have seen available in the market since I started focussing on Flavians.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second one (RIC 942) is called common by RIC but I might call it scarce instead.I think the right facing version is more common.
