Note Confirmation required, since the reading of the name is not certain. It is certainly Zosimos not Zotikos, but the letters before Zosimos are not yet clear. It might be M Aur Zosimos, as the die-linked https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/85361 but nearly all the coins with Claudia Boule are from the same obverse die, and  Ti (or P) Lic Zosimos has also been suggested (see Introduction).
