This anonymous type is characterized by the short reverse frame around ROMA, extending perhaps 2/3 of the way across the exergue. There are two major obverse styles in this type, a long head, and a petite head. This is the long head variety.
Very common except in this state of preservation. Reverse slightly off-center, otherwise GEF.
