UNLISTED BUST TYPE - H1 l. Not attested for obv. legend 1 (p. 191). Note error in obv. legend: ...AV instead of ...AVG (cf. p. 216, n. 537 to TRIER 537). However, "G" could be also worn out. Listed in RMBT (p. 32, no. 50) but may be also regarded as an ancient imitation. Cf. also example of this type from off. S of better style. Should be listed in RIC after TRIER 317.
