Note: RIC incorrectly cites Cohen 172 (wrong obv. legend, wrong rx. type) which already was cited as authority for RIC 906 (a coin which may not exist).
The correct citation for RIC 908 ought to be Cohen 173

Cohen 172-173

Note 2: An A bust for this listing is highly doubtful.

Coins with C bust which are commonly catalogued as "RIC 908 variant (bust)" are in fact RIC 908 proper.
