Vespasian CONCORDIA AVGVSTI Denarius - Rome or Antioch?

I really appreciate Wildwinds and use the site all the time to help with my attributions. But sometimes I get confused. I recently purchased a budget denarius of Vespasian with the CONCORDIA AVGVSTI reverse. Attribution would be easy, I thought, but I found two citations in Wildwinds for a Rome and an Antioch version. Since the legends are identical, what's the difference?

Here is my example (3.2 grams, 18 mm):


Here are the two relevant citations from Wildwinds (it appears RSC was confused too - both are RSC 74)

RIC 357
Vespasian Denarius. Rome, 72-73 AD. IMP CAES VESP AVG P M COS IIII, laureate head right / CONCORDIA AVGVSTI, Concordia seated left, holding patera and cornucopiae. RSC 74.

RIC 1554
Vespasian Denarius. Antioch mint, 72-73 AD. IMP CAES VESP AVG P M COS IIII, laureate head right / CONCORDIA AVGVSTI, Concordia seated left, holding patera and cornucopia. RSC 74, RPC 1927.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The difference can be seen in the portrait. I believe yours is Rome.

 

Rome

 

Yes, it's Rome.

It's all about style. Here is an Antioch example.


Notice the differences in portrait and legend?

 

Thank you Bing and Barry and David. Vespasian's portraits are all over the place, especially the early issues, so I was a little hesitant to leap to any conclusions about my worn example. But I can see that the style is definitely different in David's example.

I appreciate the help.
