RIC VI, SISCIA [after 52b], MAXIMIAN HERCULIUS, REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY

  

OBVERSE

MAXIMIA-NVSAVG [MAXIMIANVS AVG]; head r., laur.

REVERSE

VIRTVSMI-LITVM [VIRTVS MILITVM]; the four princes sacrificing over tripod before archway in six-turreted enclosure. SIS in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY. Coin similar to SISCIA 52b except for rev. legend break VIRTVSMI-LITVM instead of VIRTVS-MILITVM. For silver issues from Siscia different rev. legend break makes sometimes a separate entry in RIC (cf. SISCIA 61 and SISCIA 62). Therefore coin could be listed after SISCIA 52a.

NOTES

Argenteus. Weight 2.55 g; diameter 18 mm. Sold on Solidus Numismatik Sommer-Auktion 32 (lot 266) in July 2018 for EUR 130.
