[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3614517, member: 85693"]I am thinking that is Mars on the reverse, RIC 236. Numista has an example, with the multitude of different types listed (I warned you these can be confusing - but fun too): "Mars, helmeted, in military attire, standing or walking left, holding olive-branch in right hand and leaning on shield with left hand; spear resting on his left arm. A or H or X in left field, or A in right field. Exists as PACIFERO or PACIF."
