Note Has the same description, but differs stylistically from RPC 3652, which is perhaps from a different mint. AR 82%. 48 coins, 46 obv. dies. The variant legend ending GERM recorded by Sydenham (S 67, RIC 619) seems to be very rare; it has been definitely encountered on only one coin (Mu 10, 7.03), where the engraver had simply run out of space on the die.
Correction Corrected coin-type (post publication)
