Hello,
About this Probus aurelianus from Siscia with Latin/Greek marks : I know 10 coins, including your coin (which by the way once belonged to Simon Luethi's collection), with this description Alföldi 88/1.
It belongs to emission 5b, following my own classification, which is datable end 280 AD.
This series VICTORIAE AVG has been minted only in four officinae, //KAP-//KAQ [ //KAS exists, but Alföldi 88 didn't know any of these coins].
The other main reverse of this small series CLEMENTIA TEMP, P//KA-VI//KA has been minted on a larger scale and appears in all the six officinae in service in Siscia at that time.
Nice coin!
