Nope. There is something numismatically interesting about the reverse that caused me to buy it. Nobody else spotted it.
Read the reverse legend.

Celator forgot if he was cutting a ' SOLI...' or an ' ORIENS AVG'  |

Two different reverse dies. Both depicting Sol with captives. One with legend SOLI INVICTO, one with ORIENS AVG being struck alternately on the reverse, same obverse die both strikes.

Is that why the S A V and G are squished but none of the other letters?

There is the shadow of Sol's head from the first strike that was partly obliterated by the second strike. The same with the captive on the right. This coin provides evidence that one obverse die was used on alternate strikes with two different reverse dies.

Julius Caesar, Augustus and Tiberius were done way earlier in the thread. We are up to Aurelian, Tacitus and family.
