[CORRECTION]. SISCIA 28b is cited and described in RIC after Voetter's drawing [Numismatische Zeitschrift, 1920, Tafel 11] which lacks precision [click for picture]. Actually, Sol is holding whip and globe and Sol's chlamys is also hanging behing. SISCIA 28a probably should be corrected in the same way. Listed in Depeyrot (p. 98, no. 7/4).
