Hi Victor,

After you helped get me into this Emperor, I spent a long time looking for one of these types.  I finally found one a while back, and I think mine is RIC VII 356, but yours is much clearer in the legends.

Nice coin, and I have to say I am always jealous of your collection!!! (In a nice envious style way  :) )  If you ever decide to change focus give me a shout  ;D

regards

Mark
