H. Mattingly, in BMCRE, described the military figure as Vespasian, but the type is identical to that appearing on coins of Claudius (RPC I, 2221) and presumably depicts Augustus and Roma. Two plated coins are known. Both show a temple inscribed ROM ET AVG and with six columns (and no figures inside). One is in NY and is inscribed IMP VESP CAES AVG PONT MAX TRIB POT COS III / COM ASIA (7.92 g; Axis: 12, ANS Annual Report 1984, p. 15, fig. 10); the other, which is from different dies, was seen in trade in 1993 and has a more barbarous legend, reading IMP VESP AVG PONT MAX TRIB POT COS III (9.58 g; Axis: 6).
