[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 17947745, member: 31620"]The OP comes from a variety with TEMPO instead of TEMPOR. It looks like the same reverse die as my example:- Obv:– IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG COS II, Laureate head right Rev:– FELICIT TEMPO, grain ear between crossed cornucopiae. Minted in eastern COS II mint (Emesa ?). A.D. 194-195 Reference:- Cohen 142. BMCRE 347 note. RIC IV 372 (Rated S). RSC 142. On the face of it this coin is simply RIC IV 372 though RIC notes that Cohen likely has SEPT in error. RIC and BMCRE cite Cohen 142 for this variant (TEMPO instead of the usual TEMPOR). Cohen 142 reads FELICIT TEMPOR or TEMPO. It would appear that RIC and BMCRE could not find other examples of the TEMPO type other than Cohen when mentioning this variation [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064my_img.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
