Notes: |
|
Unpublished variety. RIC lists both the obverse and reverse types for this coin, but not in conjunction with one another. Additionally, RIC, Burnett, and Robertson do not list this particular abbreviation for militum, and Besly mentions only one occurrence in his recent study of the Rogiet Hoard. |
