NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED REVERSE TYPE. Not attested for C|S issue. Apparently this type was known to Bruun but for unclear reasons he mentioned it only in footnote 144 on p. 248: "Two coins in V. [Vienna], ordinary obv. 1 (B4) struck in off. T with Claritas imagery, but Sol rev. legend. The one SOLI INVICTO COMITI, 'Sol advancing l., holding globe turned outwards', the other 'Sol advancing l., holding globe turned inwards and whip'. Both known as Claritas types of R|S issues". Not listed in Ferrando. Should be listed in RIC after ARLES 155.
