OBVERSE	DIOCLETI-ANVSAVG [DIOCLETIANVS AVG]; bust r., laur., dr., seen from rear [C].
REVERSE	VICTORIA-SARMAT [VICTORIA SARMAT]; the four princes sacrificing over tripod before gate in six-turreted enclosure. Club in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED BUST TYPE - C. Not attested for obv. legend 1c and this type of rev. (p. 177). RIC lists only bust D, laureate and cuirassed [cf. TREVERI 119a (3.34 g)]. Note that bust type C should be described as seen from rear. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 177. Note, however, that this coin may be regarded as an ancient imitation. Otherwise, should be listed in RIC before TREVERI 119a.
