Note | There seems to be a wide variety of style, and both Σ and Ϲ, and Ω and W occur. Σ is attested only in RPC I and II, and W occurs once in RPC I (2662). Unless there was more than one issue with the same types, then the best place and likeliest date seems to be RPC I. The bust of Men on the Neronian 2669 seems similar. |
