OBVERSE	CRISPVS-NOBCAES [CRISPVS NOB CAES]; bust r., laur., cuir.
REVERSE	VIRTVS-CAESS [VIRTVS CAESS]; gateway with four turrets, no doors, varying number of stone layers, star above. T∪AR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. Issue with m.m. P crescent AR is not attested in RIC, but cf. ARLES 264-279 with similar m.m. except for star instead of crescent (p. 263-264). Note, however, that Virtus Augg type was not introduced in Arles till the next issue (ARLES 291-297) (p. 265). Note also rev. variety of gateway with no doors instead of wide open doors. Therefore, all coins from this issue may be regarded as imitations. Not listed in Ferrando. Should be listed in RIC before ARLES 286.
