[Curtis JJ]

Here's a countermarked Tiberius Commagene "Dupondius" ex-Clain-Stefanelli Collection. The pair of countermarks is actually very interesting. Based on hoard evidence (and design elements), the scarce "bird eating berries?" (Brunk 17 = Howgego 352, "bird on branch") may be a Legionary countermark. I suspect it's actually an "eagle w/ branch in its beak, standing on fulmina," possibly connected to Trajan's Parthian War.

The other countermark (right) is unpublished, as far as I know (I've found some in ACSearch records), but I suspect it's a "Capricorn-Amaltheia, with a cornucopia protruding from the body" or "Capricorn with instrument," either which could also easily be Legionary symbols. There are some characters or a monogram, but I can't decipher it.
