Very rare variant of this otherwise popular reverse type (Alfoldi reverse type 6) in which there is additionally a captive at horse's feet (which is not depicted on the standard ADVENTVS AVG reverse struck at Siscia - see Alfoldi type 5 - contrary to the Adventvs Probi Avg reverse, on which the captive is always present).
This coin is not listed in Alfoldi for E1 bust and XXIP officina. A true unpublished unicum of the highest numismatic interest!
