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.

Thanks for the links Whiz I am going through them.
Am I reading the obv correctly. I can see two heads and a wreath behind?

I'm only seeing one head wearing a laurel wreath.

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.
