Can I get a confirmation on this reverse legend? I'm having a hard time finding this Reverse in the RIC, thinking it is RIC VI 132b

I believe it might be RIC VI 118b.

What differentiates the 118b from the 132b? I was told it was a 132b.

132b has a "star" over the altar, 118b does not

Can't find any examples online to compare

So is the 118b actually more valuable than the 132b?

Not necessarily. It is just less common. Rare vaieties don't command premiums amoung ancient coins like those of early US coins.
