NOT IN RIC	[CORRECTION]. RIC describes rev. as follows: "Sol. stg l. (or facing head l.), chlamys draped over l. shoulder". Should be: "Sol stg. r., head l., chlamys draped over l. shoulder and hanging behind". See CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 140. Note, however, that also very rare variety exists with Sol standing left in chlamys draped over l. shoulder and hanging behind. Listed in Huvelin (no. 198-198b). Listed in Saint-Colombier-en-Sarzeau Hoard (p. 86, no. 3688). Listed in Cloke-Toone (7.14.003) as corrected LONDINIUM 284. See also: LONDINIUM [after 284], CONSTANTINE, REVERSE VARIETY
