Title: VRBS ROMA, two soldiers, one standard

Hi all,

I’m trying to attribute this little coin, without much success as thick patina and corrosion makes it difficult to read the mintmark (it looks like four letters, possibly beginning with “SM”).

I hope the style of the bust, and the circle on the standard can serve as clues for someone more knowledgeable.

It looks like Heraclea

Thanks, Victor!

(That must've been a speed record.)
