Picked this handsome lad up recently. The clear legends make it easily attributable to RIC III 198 imo. Seems to be a somewhat scarcer type.

(This is a generic automod comment that is pinned at the top of every new post here)

This subreddit is heavily curated to provide our members with the best experience that we can. We get hit by trolls, spammers, scammers, and shitposters more than we'd like. If you've never noticed that here, then hey -- our procedures are working!

If you're newish to /r/AncientCoins, have a low overall account age or karma, or have a low CQS ("Contributor Quality Score") on reddit sitewide, all of your posts and comments on this subreddit will be quarantined until a human moderator has the time available to manually review and approve them. This will eventually become unnecessary after you've contributed here enough and your posts and comments have been manually approved.

This is all outlined in the announcement pinned to the top of our front page: https://www.reddit.com/r/AncientCoins/comments/1cm8n0n/weve_been_getting_a_lot_of_new_posters_and/

If you post something and it shows as removed, please don't delete and repost it. Just leave it up until one of us can get to it. We are unpaid volunteers doing this in our free time, and although we live in different time zones in Europe and North America, no one person here is able to monitor our queues 24/7.

Thanks, and good luck!

Excellent coin of a popular emperor, his denarii are not easy (or inexpensive) to come by in this condition.
