<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 24709824, member: 31620&quot;]I don&#039;t have any truly interesting variations.

The chlamys in this case drapes to the right. The RIC plate coin (Plate 1) of this type can be seen to be the normal depiction. I am not claiming this ti be a different type but an variation applied by the engraver but it certainly stands out as being different alongside it&#039;s peers.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_160hh_img.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Lugdunum produced a number of variations....</p><p><br /></p><p>Walking with whip:</p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_160dw_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Walking with globe:</p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI%20160co%20img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>This one is the standard sol type but isn&#039;t listed in RIC or any of the Bastien volumes with this obverse legend.
