NOT IN RIC	REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY. For TRVERI 817c four varieties of rev. legend breaks are attested: E-V, V-I, V-IC-T, and unbroken. Sometimes - but apparently not in this case (RIC is not consistent) - specimens with different rev. legend break are listed under separate numbers (cf. RIC VI TREVERI 802 and 807 or SISCIA 61 and SISCIA 62). Here we have another variety: E-VIC-T. Also not listed in Depeyrot.
