RIC VII, CYZICUS 46, CRISPUS, UNLISTED OFFICINA B

OBVERSE	FLIVLCRIS-PVSNOBCAES [FL IVL CRISPVS NOB CAES]; bust l., laur., dr. cuir.
REVERSE	PROVIDEN-TIAECAESS [PROVIDENTIAE CAESS]; camp gate, two turrets, no doors, star above, varying number of stone layers. •SMKB• in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OFFICINA - B. According to RIC, for issue CYZICUS 44-50 only two officnae: Γand Δ are attested (p. 650). The variety in question could be CYZICUS 36 with additional (and accidental) first dot in m.m., but two specimens from different dies make this interpretation quite improbable.
