NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED ISSUE. Not attested in RIC and not expected for Ticinum. But cf. footnote 160 on p. 380 where Bruun mentions some irregular coins: "Of BEATA TRAN-QVILLITAS/VO?TIS?XX, Mun has m.m. TT, obv. IVL CRIS-PVS NOB C (B1)". Apparently an ancient imitation. For probable prototype cf. TRIER 321 or similar TRIER 347, TRIER 372 and TRIER 394.
