[CONFIRMATION]. Listed in RIC with annotation: "Voetter gives sceptre over shoulder-correctly?" (footnote 2 on p. 253). It could be an error in RIC (this footnote fits better for LUGDUNUM 181). However, it is worth to confirm that the description of LUGDUNUM 177b is correct and this type really exists. Listed in Bastien Lyon (294-316) (p. 212, no. 358).
