I bid on that coin too. It's not from Rome mint but from Arles. It's an unlisted variant (with the herlmeted portrait) of RIC VII Arles 213.

Yes, I originally thought it was Arles but talked myself into believing it must be an RP in the exergue. Also the Rome example is surrounded by a wreath. I will move this to the unlisted section. It is not listed in Ferrando either.

I missed the arched eyebrow, typical of Lyons coins.
