[CORRECTION]. RIC describes rev. as follows: "Sol. stg l. (or facing head l.), chlamys draped over l. shoulder". Should be: "Sol stg. r., head l., chlamys draped over l. shoulder and hanging behind". See CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 140.

Listed in Huvelin (no. 198-198b). Note, however, that Huvelin also lists specimen with Sol standing left in chlamys draped over l. shoulder and hanging behind (see plate 15, no. 198c). Listed in Cloke-Toone (7.14.003) as corrected LONDINIUM 284.
