Notes:
Very rare - The obverse inscription is an unlisted variant of RIC V/II #144 - His dating of the companion type at Trier (Depeyrot 2B) is 295 AD, which must also be the correct date for the Rome mint issue.Although Jupiter possessed numerous epithets, most of which were associated with his role as a sky-god, that of fulgurator
