SPES RO - MA - NORVM
Campgate with two turrets, one star between them.
Variant with obverse legend DN FLIC.. Coin referenced in RIC IX page 69, note n ° 29b. The RIC IX gives only the obverse legend, I noted the reverse legend and the descriptions following what we see on the other coins. Source according to RIC IX: ''Pearce'', Pearce collection? There is this catalog: catalogue of the large and valuable collection of Greek, Roman, Saxon, English & Foreign Coins and Medals, the property of the late S. S. Pearce, Esq... : 27-31 octobre 1898 / Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge. Is it this source? Were there pictures or the RIC IX was based on a possibly wrong description? Coin to be confirmed.
