NOT IN RIC

REVERSE VARIETY. RIC lists for this issue only rev. type with Sol holding up globe, not holding globe close to body. Coins with this rev. type are in general treated as a separate issue (e.g. ROMA 339-340, OSTIA 83-88), so by analogy such issue should be listed here after LONDINIUM 127.
