COLLECTION NO. 1582
Spectacular military bust with Medusa on cuirass and shield decorated with elaborate Virtvs scene (emperor on horse riding over row of soldiers).
Interesting and rare reverse detail: the Horse's head is facing the viewer rather than to left as usual.
Variant unlisted by Alfoldi. Unicum of the highest numismatic interest!
Virtually as struck with complete original silvering and mint luster!
Provenance: ex Gianni collection
