    I bought this denarius last Sunday and, since then, I’ve been trying to obtain information or images of a similar reverse type, but without success.

    It is a variant of RIC 199, instead of the apex it has a patera and an aspergillum. RIC doesn’t have any notes.

    I would appreciate any help.

    Here is an example of RIC 199 sold by CNG (Triton VII, Lot: 940; Jan 12, 2004):

    Great find. I'm far from an expert but I have never seen one before.

    I kept wondering where I had seen that reverse. That reverse is so reminescent of the reverse of my Augustus-Caius-Lucius Denarius:
