Reference

RIC VI : 14 or 22

Note:

This specific may pertain to either 14 or 22, as no clear diagnostic means of distinguishing between these two series is provided for officinae A, B, Γ, Δ or ∈.

Stępniewski, L. - 2026 - Not in RIC : https://www.notinric.lechstepniewski.info/6her-22.html

Note:

Note that RIC VI, p.531, n.1 speculates that these fraction types should be separated in two series (295-296 and 297-298CE) on the basis that the latter alone includes officina ς for the Augusti. However, as per this cited specimen, Stępniewski identifies that officina ς exists for the Caesars too, therefore arguing that RIC VI's two series hypothesis is redundant.
