    Not Rome mint, the MT in the exergue indicates its from the Mediolanum (Milan) mint.

    :smile Thank you Arda, I will research the reverse again. I guessed it was a kind of SMT (Sacred money T).

    RIC attributes this to the Milan mint. I presume Gobl does the same, though I do not have that volume at home to check. Mintmarks weren't truly standardized until Diocletian's reform.
