RIC VI : 135a

Reference

Omissi, A., and Lindholmer, M. - Mapping the Fall : AD 293 - 304

Note:

Contra RIC VI, p.436, the province of Pannonia Superior, and therefore mint of Sisica, fell under the administrative jurisdiction of Diocletian, not Maximian. In further support of this re-assignment see T. Barnes, The New Empire of Diocletian and Constantine (London, 1982), p.195-200, and M. Hendy, Studies in the Byzantine Monetary Economy c.300-1450 (London, 1985), p.371-386
