RIC VI, ROMA 71b, MAXIMIAN HERCULIUS, [CORRECTION], OFFICINA Δ

OBVERSE	IMPCMAXIMIANVSPFAVG [IMP C MAXIMIANVS P F AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	GENIOPOPV-LIROMANI [GENIO POPVLI ROMANI]; Genius stg. l., modius on head, naked but for chlamys over l. shoulder, r. holding patera, l. cornucopiae. R in left field, S in right field. Δ in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	[CORRECTION]. RIC lists for this type only obv. legend 2b: IMP C M A MAXIMIANVS P F AVG (p. 359). Note, however, that all specimens cited in RIC have actually obv. legend 2c: IMP C MAXIMIANVS P F AVG. Apparently a misprint. Note also that off. A is still not confirmed because off. letter on both specimens from BM (cited in RIC and listed below) looks rather like Δ.
