I've this silver denarius of Mark Anthony (6th Legion I think), it's very worn, but appears to have a different legend from that listed on all versions in the catalogue.
Not sure if it's due to the photos or not but judging from these photos alone I'd say it's a reproduction.

Citeer: "cro321"The coin looked grainy in the photos and had an unnatural color, the new photos are better and I no longer have any doubt in the coin's authenticity.
After a quick search I found that this is a restitution issue of Marc Anthony legionary denarii under Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, here are two examples of the VI legion:
