Obverse: (AEL EVDO) XIA AVG Reverse: SALVS REIPVBLICAE, Victory seated right on cuirass, supporting on a low column a shield inscribed with christogram Not sure if she qualifies as "late empire" or not... Coin has some good details, but unfortunately missing a good chunk and the mint mark is mostly off the flan. Based on my notes, I got it at a local coin show 25 years ago for 5 USD.
