Note In RPC II, p. 178, it was said that the fabric and die axis of this series suggested a Flavian or Trajanic date. It was not included in RPC III. The reverse design recalls Domitia’s reverses with kalathos or torches. It is therefore included here.   P. Requier, BSFN 80.05 (Mai 2025), pp. 155-61, suggests a date in Flavian period.
