ENGRAVER'S ERROR OR UNLISTED ISSUE. Specimen similar to TICINUM 70 except for absence of letter P in l. field. It could be an engraver's error or a result of clogged die. But it is also possible that this piece belongs to the previous issue. See footnote 62 on p. 370: "In addition Svoronos records an obv. IMP LICINIVS P F AVG (B1), diameter 20 mm. on the other hand this coin could be the first Licinian coin after Civil War I [...]".
