UNLISTED BUST TYPE - C3. RIC lists bust type C2 (seen from back); cf. picture 2 on plate 3. Note that the description in RIC is not entirely correct. Securitas is holding long sceptre, not transverse spear. Respublica is in radiate crown, not turreted. Animals in exergue are probably lioness and lion. Coin should be listed after TRIER 2.
