UNLISTED OFFICINA - Є. RIC lists for this type only officina Γ (p. 652). Description of the diadem could be disputable. The main part of the diadem looks like a plain ladder-shaped diadem type (i) sub-type (b), but there is also large end-rosette which is typical of rosette-diadem type (iii) (see p. 660). Decoration of the end-rosette is interesting and could resemble Christian Chi-Rho but probably has no religious connotations. See examples of CYZICUS 55, OFFICINA Α, CYZICUS 55, OFFICINA Β, CYZICUS 55, OFFICINA Є and CYZICUS 55, OFFICINA S. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 652.
