[CORRECTION]. RIC lists for TICINUM 76 bust type B ("R., laur., dr., seen from rear") and for TICINUM 77 with identical rev. lists bust type C ("R., laur., dr., cuir., seen from front or rear"). See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, BUST TYPES SEEN FROM REAR. However, probably only one bust type exists: r., laur., dr., cuir, seen from rear. If so, then TICINUM 76 should be corrected and TICINUM 77 should be removed.
