NOT IN RIC

[CORRECTION]. According to Bastien Lyon (318-337) (footnote 3 on p. 152) LYONS 150 does not exist because RIC describes this type with mappa in l. hand, not parazonium. Listed in Bastien Lyon (318-337) (p. 152, no. 93). In fact, only the accuracy of the description is controversial. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, pp. 89-90.
