Die-links
1: same obv. die as 1087/1–2.
Note
Obverse die otherwise used in year 12. The date is hard to read. For a similar spacing of the reverse inscription in year 11 cf. https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/coin/113024; https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/coin/118134; https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/coin/112366. It looks like the figure is seated on a shield: this may or may not result from corrosion. The figure's left leg appears to be drawn back in the manner of seated figures of Roma in year 14, cf e.g. https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/23543, but not otherwise for Roma in year 11.
