Dear cf,

Here we have a unpublished bust variant, and the reverse has no crescent

Also I believe there is a correction needed on RPC III, 3275 https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/3/3275

The bust is draped without cuirass
Nr 11 does show a club vaguely also on nr 8 and 10

I believe nr 9 and vaguely also on nr 3, shows a quiver, see https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/3/3276


CILICIA, Tarsus Hadrian Tetradrachm, Sabina
Reference.
RPC III, ; BMC 153 var., Prieur 771 var; SNG France 1413 var.
