I calssified this coin with the officina letter T as a variant. Indeed she always seems to have a reverse break SALVS RE - IPVBLICE instead of SALVS REI - PVBLICE.

Coins of this type can exist with or without an exergue line. I noticed this on the officina Q, AYC # 24 (1), RIC 2113 without line at the exergue and on the AYC # 24 var, RIC 2113 (this coin) which has a line. I have seen many other coins of this type, varying with or without a line, but none allowed to see the mint mark or officina.
