Perhaps I'm just tired, but this one seems to be chasing me around RIC.

ANTONINVS AVG PIVS PP, radiate bust right / TR POT COS III SC, Mars advancing carrying spear and trophy.

Someone please show me the light! :)

Strack 891, citing Florence and the VaticanBMC p. 217 cites Strack.

Cohen 911-2 and RIC 645, 698 have this type on sestertii and asses, but not on dupondiii.  So you are right:  not in RIC!
