REVERSE	PROVIDEN-TIAEAVGG [PROVIDENTIAE AVGG]; camp gate, two turrets, no doors, star above, varying number of stone layers. Dot in arch. PLON in exergue.

Relatively large number of known specimens suggests a separate issue or at least sub-issue. Note that the second dot above arch is probably a centering mark (see example of LONDON 293 with dot above arch). Listed in Cloke-Toone as a minor variant together with LONDON 293 (10.02.001). Should be listed in RIC after LONDON 300.
