Manlia Scantilla. Augusta, AD 193. Æ Sestertius (29mm, 22.62 g, 12h). Rome mint. Draped bust right / Juno standing left, holding patera and scepter; to left, peacock at feet, standing left, head turned up. RIC IV 18a (Didius); Woodward, Didius, dies 6/- (unlisted rev. die); Banti 2. Fine, dark gray-brown and brown patina.

The upper portion of the reverse perfectly matches the reverse of BMCRE 36 (pl. 4, 5), which was struck with Woodward rev. die E. It is possible that the same die was used for both coins, but was re-engraved before this coin was struck.
