[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 1687512, member: 26430"]I think the images are strongly suggestive of Trier.

I might want to double-check, but I don't think any of the fallen horsemen-to-left issues from Rome had T's in the exergue. Only the ones spearing two enemies-to-right, right? We talked about this on a different site (I'm jjfnumismatics), but I forget to look through my bag for any Triers.
