[QUOTE="Heliodromus, post: 8165535, member: 120820"]If you enlarge and rotate the photo, it does seem to clearly be VIRTV-S AVSS, which just adds to the list of reasons: Ticinum never issued VIRTVS AVGG, let alone VIRTVS AVSS, and with C2 CAES on the obverse it would anyways have been VIRTVS CAESS. AVSS as a "mispelling" of AVGG is an eastern thing, perhaps a reflection of the person who engraved it. [ATTACH=full]1425681[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
