See my Forvm thread "A new bust type for Balbinus", started 30 Dec. 2013.

I cite this bust type on denarii of Balbinus with rev. types IOVI CONSERVATORI, LIBERALITAS AVGVSTORVM, and VICTORIA AVGG, but not with the other type you mention, P M TR P COS II P P, Genius of the Senate.

What other rev. type do you know with this bust, apart from Genius of the Senate?

Is it one of the three I showed in my Forvm thread, IOVI CONSERVATORI, LIBERALITAS AVGVSTORVM, and VICTORIA AVGG, or a new, fifth, type?
