| Note re Rome 174
The fallen horseman of RIC 174 is described as "sitting on ground". This appears to be an error in RIC. The horseman is in fact kneeling on one knee. The fold in his tunic from near the ground to up and over the raised knee, the lower part of his left leg behind the body and the relative size of the upper and lower body supports this. | ||

All the legends are correct and the only thing that sets it apart from others that I know, is that the horseman has no hand. Similar to FT1022 above, the dots forming his hair are on the right, instead of the back of his head. It is definitely from the Rome mint (see the characteristic dots on the horse's legs). |

| RIC 314 describes the horseman as "bare headed". Almost all of the RIC 314 examples I have seen show the horseman wearing a pointed, Phrygian helmet. In addition, RIC does not mention the final dot in the mintmarks of some versions of several types including RIC 314 and 315 | ||
