BUST TYPE VARIETY. Specimen similar to CYZICUS 98 except for pearl diadem with end-rosette. Note that busts of CYZICUS 98 are described as follows: "The busts, of course, not diademed in the ordinary sense; the laurel wreath resembles a pearl diadem" (footnote 98 on p. 656). But laurel wreath with end-rosette is rather impossible. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 656-657. Listed in Collezione Sabetta (p. 153, no. 294).
