Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind / She-wolf standing right, suckling the twins Remus and Romulus; fig tree behind. Arslan –; SNG BN –; RPC IV.3 Online 3585 corr. (tree not described). Dark brown patina with earthen green highlights, light roughness. VF. Very rare, two known to RPC.

RPC describes the object above the wolf as “uncertain object (eagle on two wreaths?)” and that area is obscured by thick patina or a hole on the two known specimens. The tree on this example is clear, correcting the RPC description.
