UNLISTED BUST TYPE - B4. Not attested for obv. legend 1 and this m.m. (p. 362). However, Bruun mentions in footnote 23 on p. 362 that "Maur. [Maurice, Numismatique constantinienne], loc. cit., rev. II, 1, records a bust B4, reffering to Vo [Voetter], not in V. [Vienna]. A coin of off. S without star in field is recorded in V.". Should be listed in RIC before TICINUM 23.
