Commentary

Poids très lourd ! Buste voilé. Il y a manifestement une erreur dans le MIR qui ne trouve qu’un seul exemplaire de ce type, qui est pourtant le plus courant des antoniniens de Mariniane !.
Very heavy weight! Veiled bust. There is clearly an error in the MIR which only finds one example of this type, which is nevertheless the most common of the antoninians of Mariniane!
