Note: THIS COIN IS PART OF THE CODED EQVITI SERIES (see the letter "E" in left field which is the 1st lettter in the 6-letter EQVITI phrase. This coin was struck by the 1st officina, i.e. officina "P"; there were 6 officinae at Ticinum mint at that time; each one struck a different reverse with a different letter from the EQVITI code). For more information about the (A)EQVITI series see the below excellent article by Gert Boersema:
