NOT IN RIC

[CORRECTION]. RIC lists rev. legend as IOVI CONSERVATORI... instead of I O M CONSERVATORI... Note that rev. legend with I(ovi) O(ptimo) M(aximo) is not attested in RIC VI. Also description of rev. is slightly inaccurate. Jupiter is stg. l. (not "facing, head l.") and has chlamys hanging behind. Listed in Depeyrot (p. 66, no. 2/5) with this correction.
