REVERSE	GENIOPOPV-LIROMANI [GENIO POPVLI ROMANI]; Genius stg. l., modius on head, naked but for chlamys over l. shoulder, r. holding patera, l. cornucopiae. S in left field, F in right field. ITR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND - 4f. Not attested for this type of rev. (p. 196). Attribution disputable. See footnote 1 on p. 196: "The distinction between this [TREVERI 504-510; Genius with modius on head] and the next [TREVERI 511-542; Genius with head towered] reverse is often very hard to make, as the modius may be rubbed or the turreted crown perfunctorily executed. What is certain is that the distinction exists, though coins with the modius are noticeably less common". The present author believes that the last statement is somehow exaggerated. See also TREVERI 535b (BM B.415, 9.81 g; 29 mm) with Genius towered. Coin should be listed after TREVERI 508b.
