NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OFFICINA - T. RIC lists for this type only officina P (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 40 (similar rev., but Sol with chlamys across l. shoulder). ARLES 38 from off. T is Listed in Ferrando (p. 76, no. 63 and no. 65 with different rev. legend break and regarded as unlisted in RIC). But chlamys is something in between a chlamys floating and chlamys falling down.
