REVERSE LEGEND VARIETY. Specimen similar to SISCIA 29 (BM 1867,0101.908, 4.36 g; see also plate 12, no. 29 in RIC VII) except for different rev. legend break: X-ER-C instead of X-E, which could make in RIC separate entry (cf. TRIER 18-21 or CONSTANTINOPLE 93-94).
SISCIA 29 is listed in Depeyrot (p. 102, no. 19/2) with rev. legend break X-E but specimen from Sotheby auction is cited. Coin could be listed in RIC after SISCIA 29.
