NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. Not attested for aes from Group I (p. 425). RIC lists for Diocletian's votive fractions only obv. legend 1a (see CARTHAGO 38). General note from p. 415: "The celebrations of 303 produced also an ample issue of fractional radiate coins of c. 3.0 gm., with dies ↑↑ or ↑↓. Their reverses are VOT X (for the Caesars) or VOT XX (for the Augusti), and they are all signed FK = Felix Karthago: no officina is indicated". Coin should be listed before CARTHAGO 38.
