UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this issue with small camp-gate and smaller portrait-head, only for Diocletian and Maximian Herculius, but note that it could be also ALEXANDRIA 13b, unlisted for officina. Note also errors in legends: AVES instead of CAES and MILITAM instead of MILITVM. Listed in Gautier Argent (294-312) (p. 579, no. 38). Should be listed in RIC after ALEXANDRIA 9b.
