14 mm. 12:00. 1.23 grams. RIC Siscia 39b2.
13 mm. 6:00. 1.21 grams. This almost looks like it ends GG instead of GGG,
but close inspection in-hand shows a possible weak third G right along the exergual line.
About the "GG" ending: One of each of Arcadius and Honorius seen by Pearce (but not from Siscia), who thinks this type is probably the same as type 12, but possibly dated immediately after the death of Theodosius (which, therefore, should not have a Theodosius legend like this one), leaving only Arcadius and Honorius as Augusti. Pearce did not assign it an RIC number, probably because it would technically be in RIC X, not IX. Kent did put it in RIC X, as listed under type 44 (but not for Siscia).
