Commentary

Série légère. Émission sans lettre d’officine Ptéryges larges sous le paludamentum. Épaulière décorée. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Light series. Issue without a letter of office. Large pteryges under the paludamentum. Decorated shoulder guard. This type seems rarer than general works suggest.
