Note Hochard 338 and 340 has variant obv. readings, but probably in error. As pointed out by the Obolos cataloguer, the Tubingen coins 3678-9 attributed to Domitian (II, 1327A) are actually of Trajan, as III, 2414, and Daldis has no coinage for Domitian.
Correction Corrected coin-type (post publication)
