<p>[QUOTE="SeptimusT, post: 3611515, member: 91240"]Interesting and a little tough to read. The inscription on the right of the portrait is often the same for both <a href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/14474" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/14474" rel="nofollow">Verus</a> and <a href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/14171" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/14171" rel="nofollow">Aurelius</a>.
