A correction and new description for Diadumenian

Diadumenian, AD 217-218
AE 27, 12.44g, 27.31mm, 0°
struck under governor Marcus Agrippa
obv. M OPELL[I DI] - ADOVMENIANOC K
        Bust, draped and cuirassed, bare-headed, r.
rev. VP A[GRIPPA NIKO]POLITWN / PROC ICT
       River god, nude to hips, chlamys hanging down from l. shoulder, std. l. on rock(?), resting
        with r. arm on prora behind, holding long branch in l. arm and resting with l. hand on
        urn(?)
ref. a) AMNG I/1, 1807, pl. XVIII, 4 (1 ex., trade)
      b) Varbanov 3645 (same dies)
      c) Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2018) No. 8.25.32.3 corr. (writes PROC ICTR / W)
      d) Megaw NIC4.38e
coll. Hoeft

The depiction is not clear. Instead of a rock and an urn it could well be a kind of kline (you can see the feet) and a misunderstood back rest. There is no water flowing from it and the left arm floats over it without contact (Pick).
