RIC VI, TREVERI 152b, MAXIMIAN HERCULIUS, REVERSE VARIETY, OFFICINA B

OBVERSE	IMPMAXIMIANVSPAVG [IMP MAXIMIANVS P AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	GENIOPOPV-LIROMANI [GENIO POPVLI ROMANI]; Genius stg. l., head towered, naked but for chlamys over l. shoulder, r. holding patera, l. cornucopiae. B in l. field. TR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	REVERSE VARIETY. Specimen similar to TREVERI 152b (Leu web 38, lot 1785, 10.0 g, 28 mm) except for Genius with head towered instead of modius. Variety mentioned in RIC in footnotes. Cf. footnote 1 and 3 on p. 180: "Genius towered-a rare early variant". Probably this variety is not so rare, so it should be added to description of TREVERI 149-162. Note also that sometimes the difference between these two types is vague and rather arbitrary. See example of TREVERI 160a (BM B.273, 13.03 g, 27 mm) cited in RIC as variety with modius.
