Notes:     (1) This denarius is unlisted in RIC with this unrecorded bust break and the shortened inscription (IMP_GERMAN); it is, however, similar to the denarius described as RIC 029 (3aC). So I have designated it as RIC 029A. This method is used elsewhere in RIC (addendas) to place unlisted coins (2) Roma Numismatics Auction 2: Lot No. 608
