PMS - COL VII (Provincia Moesia Superior, Colonia Viminacium - Province of Upper Moesia, City of Viminacium). Moesia, in chiton wearing veil or diadem, full front. Her arms outstretched and her hands protectively over (at her left) a bull (symbol of Legio VII) and (at her right) a lion (symbol for Legio III). There wasn't enough room for a full 'VIM' because of the COL starting at second half so they 'made something out of it'.
