       Hi friends:

       This word "ro", appears on numerous roman coins; here "ro npsa l",
misread as old latin "L.CENSOR", in a denarius called Censorinus. On design
this man ist carrying a pig.

        I tried to include reading on the design,  "omwd +  gçr + id + ras +
jçyr + ydj".

        Regards

       Antonio Garcia Hurtado.
