NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. Specimen similar to ROMA 118b except for BAEATISSIMO in obv. legend instead of shorter BAEATISS (p. 364). But cf. footnote 1 on p. 365: "Voetter in N.Z. also records D N DIOCLETIANO FELICISSIMO, &c., again presumably in error". Note that variety with shorter obv. legend also exists. See example of ROMA 119a (Wien RÖ 72480, 9.95 g, 27 mm). Coin should be listed before ROMA 118b. See also: ROMA [before 118a], DIOCLETIAN, UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND
