Nearly extremely fine, scarce.
Ex Antiquarius, New Zealand with their ticket. The reverse legend indicates the fifteenth year of tribunician power and five times consul and this corresponds to A.D. 110-111. Wruck assigned the mint of issue to Antioch ad Orentem, but Prieur places it correctly to Tyre.
