Very rare, only 3 on ACSearch

From Andrew McCabe: "Issued by Sulla whilst he was travelling with his army for his second March against Rome, this is the last As featuring Janus that was issued under the Roman Republic. Sulla was proclaimed 'dictator legibus faciendis et reipublicae constituendae causa' (dictator for the making of laws and for the settling of the constitution) by the Senate at the end of 82 or beginning of 81 BC after his defeat of the Samnites and Marian forces at the Battle of the Colline Gate just outside of Rome."
