No, I only bid about $120.00.
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.
The coin is from LYON and not Arles
Mint mark .P.L.
Ric Lyon 92
a rare coin anyway Ÿ

I missed the arched eyebrow, typical of Lyons coins.
