NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED BUST TYPE - E. Not attested for this type of rev. and obv. legend 4e (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 and CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, BUST TYPES SEEN FROM REAR. Coin should be listed after TREVERI 508b.
