RIC VI, LONDINIUM [after 35], GALERIUS MAXIMIAN, OBVERSE LEGEND VARIETY [IRREGULAR COIN]

OBVERSE	MAXIMIANVSNOBCES [MAXIMIANVS NOB CES (sic!)]; bust r., laur., cuir.
REVERSE	GENIOPOPV-LIROMANI [GENIO POPVLI ROMANI]; Genius stg. l., modius on head, naked but for chlamys over l. shoulder, r. holding patera, l. cornucopiae.
NOT IN RIC	OBVERSE LEGEND VARIETY. Specimen similar to LONDINIUM 35 (ANS 1984.146.1186, 9.03 g, 27 mm) except for ...CES in obv. legend instead of ...CAES. Probably an engraver's error. Note, however, clumsy lettering and somehow crude style of portrait. Coin should be regarded as an ancient imitation and may be mentioned in RIC after LONDINIUM 35.
