Note 1: RIC breaks its own consistency rules by grouping coins with two different titulatures under this listing:

IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F INVICT AVG
IMP C M AVR PROBVS INVICT AVG

  Longer & shorter titulature variants also exists:

IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F INVIC AVG
IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F INVICTVS AVG

Note 2: An exceptional coin exists, which transposes titulature elements P FINVICT
It likely needs to be listed separately.


Chronology: 4th emission of Serdica, 277 CE (Pink) / 280-81 CE (Gysen).
