NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED OFFICINA - T. RIC lists for this type only officina S (p. 237). Note that description in RIC could be misleading. The "fold of chlamys" sometimes means chlamys which Bruun usually describes as "flying under l. arm" (e.g. ARLES 19-20). There is also no mention about globe in l. hand and raised r. hand. For comparison, see picture of ARLES 44 (similar rev., but Sol with chlamys across l. shoulder).

Listed in Ferrando (p. 74, no. 46), but coin regarded as a type not listed in RIC.
