ROMA, Roma, helmeted, standing left, spear in left hand, Victory in extended right hand, S - C (senatus consulto) flanking across center

Consigned to FORVM but marked replica. FORVM does not sell replicas. The style is clearly wrong. An obvious replica to a dealer or experienced collector of Vespasian coinage.
