Interesting opinions, looks like I need to reevaluate the bust.

The reverse is AEQVITAS. Ill take some pictures myself in a bit - thats the sellers image.

Wildwinds RIC41 Victorinus (Marius portrait) also has AEQVITAS on the reverse. Could do with larger pics of yours and also wildwinds to compare.

Even when you get it in hand if it does turn out to be Victorinus it's still a very interesting collecting topic and one that I had not thought about before.

I don't see the original coin as looking anything like Marius, except for being Gallic. There are Tetricus portrait coins that look more like that than Marius.
