NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED OFFICINA - B. RIC lists only officinae A and Γ (p. 541). General note from p. 528: "This issue falls into two sections, before and after Maximinus' capture of Heraclea. In the first, Iovi Conservatori Augg continues for all three rulers - all with 'mature' legends: the coins are not uncommon [...] Date, 313".

Note, however, that RIC probably mixes here two issues, this one with rev. legend IOVI CONSERVATORI AVGG and another issue (unlisted in RIC but now confirmed) with rev. legend IOVI CONSERVATORI and different iconography (no eagle to l.; Jupiter's chlamys hanging behind). Officina Γ is cited after Voetter (Voetter; p. 115, no. 22) who apparently had similar problem. See also footnotes 5 and 6 on p. 541.
