[CORRECTION]. RIC describes this bust as B4 l. (draped and cuirassed). Additionally, in footnote 75 on p. 101 Bruun writes as follows: "Some specimens with elaborate cuirass, resembling drapery". In fact, Emperor is wearing trabea (bust type K1 l.). See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 100-102). Listed in Bastien-Huvelin (p. 103, no. 1336) but bust erroneously described as B5 l. (cuirassed). Listed in Collezione Sabetta (p. 44, no. 16). Listed in Cloke-Toone (8.07.018).
