Note that so far two different rev. legend breaks are attested: P-V-G and O-P, which could make in RIC two separate entries (cf. TREVERI 802 and 807 or SISCIA 61 and SISCIA 62). Listed as Siscian coin in Depeyrot (p. 96, no. 3/6) with rev. legend break O-P. Should be listed in RIC before CYZICUS 1.
