BUST TYPE VARIETY. Specimen similar to LONDINIUM 280 except that there are no traces of cuirass, e.g. pteruges (see CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 134). However, it is possible that bust was engraved in this manner unintentionally and should be described as draped and cuirassed. Not listed in Cloke-Toone.
