UNLISTED REVERSE TYPE. Obv. legend is not attested for this Soli issue (p. 137). But note that Sol is holding whip instead of globe. Note also that elaborate cuirass could be described as mantle because of absence of pteruges (see CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 134). Listed in Huvelin (no. 154). Listed in Cloke-Toone (7.08.013). Should be listed in RIC after LONDINIUM 240.
