Note A new and hitherto missing (for Temnus) denomination between the larger coins for Titus (RPC II, 980) and the smaller for Julia (RPC II, 981). A head of Dionysus appears on earlier coins, in the name of Asinius Gallus under Augustus (RPC I, 2447). Specimen 3 allows for a corrected reading of rev. legend.
