The 18. Legion was destroyed with Varus and never reformed - the reverse legend is a celator error and should be XXII, Legion 22 Primagenia, which was stationed in Mogontiacum.

Are you sure it's cellator error and not a convention of the period as the 22nd legion coins of Carausius are mostly IIXX.
