Not received this yet so can't say size or weight.

Is this double struck or is it one of the janus double head types. I have not been able to find the legend in any of the databases, is it roman?

wildwinds has some and there is also a guy on Forvm who has a nice gallery on Severan provincials with a lot from Stobi. I can link them when I get home just walking into a movie.

TIF it looks like lips are next to the "bow" at the back of his head, chin and nose visible, that is why I thought it was overstruck at first.
