Obverse: VRBS ROMA, bust of Roma left in plumed helmet, imperial mantle, and ornamental necklace.
Reverse: Lupa Romana (she-wolf) left, suckling the twins Romulus and Remus; two stars above; • ASIS • mintmark in exergue.
Issuer: Roman Empire, commemorating the founding of Constantinopolis.
Specifications: Billon, 19 mm approx., 2.94 g. Struck at Siscia mint, first officina.
Grade: NGC Ch AU (Strike: 5/5, Surface: 4/5), cert. #5770260-006. Acquired raw.
Reference: RIC VII Siscia 240*, Sear 16515.
Provenance: gift from Josh Zachman (@kazuma78 on CoinTalk), 2019.
Notes: the reverse of this coin shows the legendary twins Romulus and Remus being suckled by a she-wolf, as described in the founding myth of Rome.
Comments: I have been told that the strike on this example is superior since it shows so much more of the fur details on the wolf than is typically seen on this type.
