NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED BUST TYPE AND REVERSE VARIETY. Bust type not attested for this issue (p. 247). Note also that Genius on rev. has loins draped instead of chlamys over l. shoulder. Not listed in Bastien Lyon (294-316) and Bastien Lyon - suppléments I-II. Note, however, that according to Bastien Lyon (294-316) (p. 55 and footnote 1 on p. 210) coins with m.m. altar/PLC probably belong to the next issue altar|A-B/PLC and absence of officina letter should be regarded as a mint error. Then this coin could be regarded as LUGDUNUM 85 (BM 1907,1009.44, 12.14 g) with worn officina letter and rev. variety. Otherwise, should be listed after LUGDUNUM 71.
