UNLISTED ISSUE. RIC lists this type only with m.m. SMAN*. See ANTIOCH 48 (Hirsch 22, lot 153; cited in RIC). Note that Emperor is holding long sceptre in l. hand instead of spear. Note also AOVENTVS in reverse legend, probably the only existing variant for this type. See: CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 685.
