Located this lovely copy in a Roman field. Its obverse looks like VLPP with a wreath reverse & nonsensical letting. A favourite coin, and you could soon start to amass these copies in a specialized collection.

That's a neat example. the obverse does look like it might have copied a VLPP. It may also have been inspired by a VOT type from Thessalonica, like the first coin below.

Second picture below is another example of an unofficial VOT type.

I have been leisurely acquiring unofficial Siscia VLPP's for a few years-- if you have not seen my page yet--
