p. 325

Group IV; AES (i). Obverse legend marked as 4a is DIVO CONSTANTIO PIO and should be DIVO CONSTANTIO AVG. Voetter, p. 62, have AVG only in the obv. legend of this type at Aquileia (quoted after Curtis Clay). Click for example of AQUILEIA 127 from Classical Numismatic Group, Inc site. Error appears also in INDEX I: OBVERSE LEGENDS (p. 690).

p. 427

[1] CARTHAGO 35-36. Reverse description is: "VOT X/FK in two lines in wreath". Should be: "VOT/X in two lines in wreath" [FK is classified earlier as a mintmark of this issue] or at least: "VOT/X/FK in three lines in wreath". See: CARTHAGO 35, CONSTANTIUS, UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND.

[2] CARTHAGO 37-38. The similar error as above. Reverse description is: "VOT XX (or X • X)/FK in two lines in wreath". Should be: "VOT/XX (or X • X) in two lines in wreath" [FK is classified earlier as a mintmark of this issue] or at least: "VOT/XX (or X • X)/FK in three lines in wreath". See: CARTHAGO 37, DIOCLETIAN, UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND.

p. 530

Group I; AES (i). Obverse legend marked as 2a is IMP C MA VAL MAXIMIANVS P F AVG and should be IMP C MA MAXIMIANVS P F AVG (without VAL). You can see the right legend on coin identified as HERACLEA 14 which is shown on plate 12 in this volume (click for example of HERACLEA 17b). Error appears also in INDEX I: OBVERSE LEGENDS (p. 693).

p. 566

NICOMEDIA 69a-c. According to Voetter there is NO EAGLE AT FEET TO L. (click for example of NICOMEDIA 69a). For NICOMEDIA 69c see also plate 13, below.

CYZICUS 90-91b. Iconography on reverseIS NOT SIMILAR to CYZICUS 78-80. In fact, Jupiter is holding Victoriola on globe, not just globe; there is no eagle at feet to l.; Jupiter's chlamys is hanging behind, not from l. shoulder (click for example of CYZICUS 91a from Classical Numismatic Group, Inc site).

p. 594

CYZICUS 106. Reverse legend is SOLI IN-VICTO and should be SOLE IN-VICTO. It results from note on p. 577: "The rare Herculi Victori and Sole Invicto are recorded only for Maximinus". When in the next issue legend changes to Soli Invicto [CYZICUS 110], RIC records it clearly on p. 578: "This very small issue [...] comprises only [...] Soli (sic) Invicto for Maximinus". Error appears also in INDEX II: REVERSE LEGENDS (p. 704).

p. 638

Group V; AES (iii). There should be a CRESCENT over altar in left field. See the correct diagram on page 609 (click for example of GENIO EXERCITVS issue: ANTIOCH 147b).

ANTIOCH 169a-b. Diagram probably should be reversed: star in left field and officina mark in right field. See RIC VI, ANTIOCHIA 169b, MAXIMINUS, ENGRAVER'S ERROR and another specimen from this issue [click for picture]. Confirmation required.

p. 644

ANTIOCH 170a-c. According to RIC officina mark is nearly always in RIGHT field, but all eight specimens from this issue (2 for Licinius, 4 for Maximinus and 2 for Constantine) which photos author has seen (thanks to collaboration of Ben Bridgwater) have officina mark in LEFT field. Also Curtis Clay reported another Licinius' coin with officina mark in left field.

Plate 5

PICTURE 141 referring to RIC VI AQUILEIA 141 (p. 328) actually shows RIC VI AQUILEIA 139. Mars on reverse of AQUILEIA 141 is described as standing right (weight on left leg), but Mars on the picture is standing facing (weight on the right leg and foot seen from the front) as on AQUILEIA 139. See example of AQUILEIA 141 from FORVM ANCIENT COINS [click for picture].

Plate 13

PICTURE 69c referring to RIC VI NICOMEDIA 69c (p. 566) actually shows RIC VII NICOMEDIA 12 (see above: corrigenda to p. 566 and RIC vol. VII, p. 601).
