<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 3167551, member: 84744&quot;]Given the legend (&quot;REST&quot;), I think it qualifies as a restitution issue.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have also wondered about this.&nbsp; Looking around just now, it seems the leading hypothesis is that Legio VI Ferrata was the one that entered Ctesiphon with Verus in 165 at the end of his Parthian campaign (resulting in his &quot;Parthicus&quot; title).&nbsp; Some include Victory on the reverse, which would fit with this.&nbsp; Maybe those without Victory were issued before the entry into Ctesiphon, but one would expect Leg VI to have had a special status with Verus, if it&#039;s the legion with which he chose to share his triumphant entry into the city.&nbsp; Great coin, in any case![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
