NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. Many types with m.m. PR are omitted in RIC V/2 and RIC VI. There is a very slight possibility that some of them were minted after Reform. Also, others were added here for comparison. Note that so far three different rev. legend breaks are attested: L-I-P-A, I-PA-C and V-L, which could make in RIC three separate entries (cf. TREVERI 802 and 807 or SISCIA 61 and SISCIA 62). Listed in Depeyrot (p. 82, no. 6/1; no rev. break given). Coin could be listed in RIC before ROMA 5a.
