RIC VII, ROME 192, LICINIUS II, OFFICINA S [CONFIRMATION]

OBVERSE	LICINIVSIVNNOBC [LICINIVS IVN NOB C]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir.
REVERSE	VIRTV-SAVGG [VIRTVS AVGG]; camp gate with four turrets, open doors; varying number of stone layers. P in left field, R in right field. RS in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	OFFICINA S [CONFORMATION]. RIC lists officinae S and Q (p. 317). However, according to Lars Ramskold, officina letter on coins cited in RIC was misread. They "are both, in fact, from officina P, not from S and Q". Therefore officinae S and Q must be confirmed.
