Note The half-length bust on D752 (‘busto lauro a d.; petto nudo; palud. sulla spalla s.’) is reasonably clear on the rubbing in DS. But the exact details cannot be made out: perhaps the same as the heroic bust with an aegis on the obv. of a 33mm. coin with Triumphal arch (BMC 2782): see 4547.4 above.
