UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND - 3b. RIC lists obv. legend 3d (FL instead of FLA). But it could be a misprint in RIC 3d instead of 3b. Note that there is another error in RIC: actually rev. legend begins with SACR, not SACRA (see Corrigenda to RIC VI, pp. 447, 449, 470, 473 and 704).

General note from p. 447: "In rarity and other respects a numbered continuation from (xvi), perhaps with a more even use of officinae. The mark, last in Group I, is also the first in Group II. Date, c. 305".

Coin should be listed before SISCIA 157a.
