Note Only traces of the legend can be made out, but they appear to give the reading above. The same type occurs at Side for Tiberius (3394) and Nero (3402–3): no snake is visible on this specimen; there is clearly no snake on 3394. 3395ff. Many more specimens and variants can be found in Pfälzer Privatsammlungen SNG 579-621; some (as RPC 3395) are attributed to Tiberius under Augustus.
