Commentary
Imitation locale ou barbare du FEL TEMP REPARATIO. Les légendes dégénérées sont illisibles. En revanche la marque d’exergue avec RQ semble bien appartenir au registre de l’atelier de Rome.
Local or barbaric imitation of the FEL TEMP REPARATIO. The degenerate legends are illegible. On the other hand, the exergue mark with RQ seems to belong to the register of the Rome workshop.
