Was a little too quick to post this, found it a few minutes later; seems to be a rare variant of a Rome mintmark

I have never seen that before! Unusual to have the mint abbreviated and the workshop fully spelled out.

Hi,

Yes, a Rome mark. I've got SECVNDA on a Valentinian I and PRIMA on a Valens. You can also get TERTIO but haven't got one of those.

Regards,

Mauseus

Officina QVARTA also exists at Rome mint for Valentinianus and Valens.
