Laureate and cuirassed bust, r.
[M ANTONINVS] AVG TR P XXVIII
Mars, half-draped, standing r., holding spear and resting shield on shoulders of a captive; SC on shield.
MARTI [VICTORI IMP VI COS III]
RIC III 1108
Rare, especially with this bust type. Green-brown patina.
Despite RIC noting this type as 'common,' it is far rarer on the market today. This variety, with cuirassed but not draped bust, appears very rare; we could find only one other example.
