    These flames (sometimes referred to as clouds) only seem to occur at Siscia

    Heres two Probus with left (Siscia) and right (Rome) facing busts, both ADVENTVS.PROBI.AVG. Both mark the arrival of Probus in Rome, 277 CE.

    @Jims Coins: I took the liberty to put your obverse and reverse together in one image. It makes it easier to view. Nice coin btw.
