NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. RIC lists only legend 1b: IMP C LIC LICINIVS [single "N"] P F AVG [ANTIOCHIA 169a]. Only officina I is attested. Note, however, that it could be a misprint in RIC: 1b instead of 1a. Note also that m.m. pattern for this issue is given incorrectly: CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 644. Coin should be listed before ANTIOCHIA 169a.
