I've identified around 50 coins of a good range of emperors but I have this coin and I have no idea what it is. I dnot recognise the emperor at all and I'm just struggling in general with identifying the reverse. I think it has a jug and maybe a lituus. any help would be greatly appreciated :-) Thanks.
