Officina letter not listed by RIC IX N ° 36 b. I notice that all the coins that I was able to observe with this officina letter have a very barbaric style, close to an imitation. I even listed a coin with an error of legend for this officina (see AYC # 12 var). It is however the only coin whose style is of good quality, close to the rest of the coinage. Under what conditions did this officina work? Perhaps in an emergency, calling on a poor engraver. The question is legitimate.
