Note This type is not very plausible and requires verification. DS was not able to locate a rubbing to match the description in D 3890. The obverse legend was used on tetradrachms from year 21 to year 24, when ƐΥϹƐΒ was introduced. It is not otherwise found on tetradrachms of year 25, although the older form was carried over on some bronzes of that year. The reverse type is not otherwise known for tetradrachms under Commodus, although it is attested with a double cornucopia for Crispina in year 21 (https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/25587).
