Victor:
congrats...a nice addition to your collection

Lech Stępniewski:
Congratulations. Very unusual bust. Are you sure that there is Sol and not Victory with obliterated wing? I wonder if this bust is not identical with bust on TRIER 384.

Heliodromus:
I'm also guessing Victory. There are busts with Sol, but those seem to be ones with consular bust, and Victory would seem more logical for a martial bust with spear, although the leg pose does seem more like Sol.

Here's another 384 ex. Dr. Busso 380.948 (not mine), and a Sol example from Berlin for comparison.

Victor:
it's hard to be sure, but I see Sol...especially what seems to be the radiate headdress.
