SOLIIN-VI-CTOCOMITI [SOLI INVICTO COMITI]; Sol stg. r., head facing, chlamys flying out on both sides, r. raised, l. holding up globe. RP in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED REVERSE TYPE. Not attested in RIC but cf. footnote 6 on p. 388 to ROMA 317: "Specimen at Vienna with rad. head of Sol facing" (probably this very specimen incorrectly attributed). For this type of rev. with Sol's head facing cf. TICINUM 133. Note also chlamys flying out on both sides. Coin should be listed after ROMA 338c.

NOTES

Weight 3.23 g; diameter 21.4 mm. From the Münzkabinett of the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien Collection (object no. RÖ 73063).
