This Fel Temp is special because it only has one captive, versus the normal two. This type was only issued at Thessalonica. It is also an unlisted officina.

Mine is a different workshop (a listed one: A).  These were issued following Constantius' relief of Vetranio.  The one to watch for is the Gallus version reported in RIC but I don't have it.
