Note LS p. 85, no. 1: 'ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑ ϹƐΒΑϹΤΗ, Brustbild der Domitia rechtshin / ΙΟΥΛΙƐΩΝ ΓΟΡΔΗ, sitzender Zeus Nikephoros linkshin; im Abschnitt, ΜΠΡ'. This is presumably the same, although on the B coin Zeus seems to be holding an eagle rather than a Nike, and there seems to be no Ɛ in ΙΟΥΛΙƐΩΝ. Dräger p. 327, nos. 258-9 treats them as separate varieties.
