Note I-B, RSN 19 (1913), p. 46 no. 138 (= GRPCL Bagis 10) has: "ΒΑΓΝΗΩΝ. Brustbild des Men mit Mütze und Mondsichel über den bekleideten Schultern rechtshin. Pkr. R. [ΕΠ]Ι ΛΟΛΛ l., ΙΟΥ r. Stehender Zebustier rechtshin. Pkr. Gr. 2,01. M. S.", and adds the comment "Auf ähnlichen Münzen aus Hadrians Zeit ist ΛΟΥΚΙΟΥ zu lesen". It s not clear if this is the same or a different magistrate (Lollios is otherwise not known at Bagis). GRPCL refers to Winterthur 3700, presumably this coin.
