UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this type of rev. for Galerius and Maximian Herculius (p. 129). Listed in Cloke-Toone (5.01.005). But note that Cloke-Toone merges LONDINIUM 83-85 and 86-90 (5.01.001-5.01.009) and Genius on rev. is described as with "modius or towered crown on head" (p. 136, 138). Should be listed in RIC after LONDINIUM 84.
