NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. Not attested for Soli rev. from this issue (p. 360). Existence of this coin with rev. typical for earlier Soli issue, listed in RIC VI (Sol with chlamys over l. shoulder and hanging behind; cf. RIC VI TICINUM 131a; Leu web 16, lot 3712, 3.72 g, 21 mm), suggests that introduction of this long obv. legend for new Soli issue appeared before TICINUM 7 (ANS 1944.100.9523, 3.09 g, 20 mm). Probably simultaneously with Marti issue. Cf. TICINUM 5 (Leu web 26, lot 5317, 3.51 g, 20 mm) and TICINUM 6 (ANS 1944.100.9522, 3.26 g, 20 mm). Coin should be listed in RIC after TICINUM 4.
