BUST TYPE VARIETY. Specimen similar to CYZICUS 86 (Berlin no. 18306835, 2.95 g, 17 mm) except for pearl diadem with end-rosette. Note that busts of CYZICUS 86 are described as "busts with wreaths resembling pearl diadem" (footnotes 86 and 83 on p. 655). But laurel wreath with end-rosette is rather impossible. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 655.
