REVERSE VARIETY. Specimen similar to AQUILEIA 114 except for male figures with torches as acroteria instead of Victories. Note that in "Addenda" RIC lists this variety for AQUILEIA 113 (p. 687; listed twice in Paolucci & Zub: as variety b) of no. 173 and as no. 174). Probably this variety is more common than the listed one. Listed in Paolucci & Zub as variety of no. 175.
