Note Dattari placed this coin at the beginning of DS pl. 17, suggesting he thought it might represent the Emperor. It is also reminiscent of the Herakles type (RPC II, 2709). The date is illegible, but it has been placed here with the other emperor types, but any date in years 11-15 is possible, from the obv. inscription. Confirmation required.
