Here's a Roman that just arrived--I like the patina.
It appears to be Fel Temp Repartio--a decent coin for $16? I have yet to determine the RIC.

Very nice coin, nice sand patina. I don't have one of these HUT types, have never come across any in uncleaned lots.

Be careful, huts can be addictive. Did you know that each mint used a different tree variety over the hut so often you can ID the mint even when the mintmark is unclear.

You have a very nice clear reverse with decent tree details. Compare your Arles to this Heraclea:

I have a few others on my FTR page but I don't have an Arles.

Thanks for cluing me in on the hut--I did not recognize it as such.
How interesting the each mint used a different style of tree--I can only guess that's deliberate.

Nice acquisition DV. Great contrast!

I believe this is RIC VII 106

Congrats,
