UNLISTED ISSUE. RIC does not list this type of rev. from Lyon, but cf. TRIER 439, known from unique specimen, minted simultaneously with Sarmatia devicta (p. 202). However, this coin is probably an ancient imitation. Should be noted after LYONS 209.

NOTES

Weight 3.16 g; diameter 17.5 mm. From the Sergio Lendines Ramiro Collection.
