Roman Empire, Lucius Verus Sestertius

AE Sestertius
Obv: L AVREL VERVS AVG ARMENIACVS ; bare-headed & cuirassed bust right
Rev: TR P IIII IMP II COS II S C ; Mars walking r., carrying a spear and trophy
"Not in BMC with this obv. type.
However, BM 1101 and 1120 are sestertii in the same issue with the same obv. type as Tanit's coin, but different rev. types.
It's quite likely that there are other specimens like Tanit's in existence, but none in Paris or BM or the easily available literature, so the variant did not make it into Cohen, RIC, or BMC." Curtis Clay
