NOT IN RIC

[CORRECTION]. Bust type is marked in RIC as B5 l. Probably misprint for B4 l. or wrong description of unique specimen from Copenhagen cited in RIC. Note that Paolucci & Zub lists both varieties: AQUILEIA 46 with bust type B5 l. and unlisted in RIC variety with bust type B4 l., but picture of AQUILEIA 46 apparently shows specimen with bust type B4 l. Variety with bust type B5 l. probably does not exist. Listed in Collezione Sabetta (p. 140, no. 169) but erroneously as a new variety.
