Die-links 1–3: same obv. die as 2306A/1–2.
Note 'Time of Hadrian' (SNG Cop, presumably following I-B: see Roma/Ares).Thanks to specimen 2, the obverse legend is now correct. As 2306A is certainly struck with the same die, it seems that its legend was altered.
Correction Corrected coin-type (post publication)
