NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED OFFICINA - B. RIC lists for Licinius only officina Δ (p. 592). Only trace of the officina letter visible, so attribution remains uncertain. Note that there is an error in RIC. Iconography on reverse is not similar to CYZICUS 78-80. In fact, Jupiter is holding Victoriola on globe, not just globe; there is no eagle at feet to l.; Jupiter's chlamys is hanging behind, not from l. shoulder. See: CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 592.
