NOT IN RIC	[CORRECTION]. RIC gives for Licinius' coins from this issue two obv. legends: 1b (ALEXANDRIA 134a) and 1d (ALEXANDRIA 135a). Obv. legend 1d is correct (see ALEXANDRIA 135a; BM 1950,1006.1288, 6.42 g; cited in RIC). However, 1b is probably a misprint which should be corrected for 1c. Variety with obv. legend 1b may exist but confirmation is required.
