The portrait on this one almost looks like its a C1 (in RIC VII terms) bust - Radiate head - I don't see a body for the drapery on this one. Which makes it way more interesting. Although I could absolutely be mistaken.

Yes, it is a radiate head only. When looking for coin descriptions I look through sold inventory and if I don't have the same type I copy and paste a similar example and then change what is necessary...except this time I did not change the bust description-- corrected now.
