Crawford assigned the "LT" coins to a subsidiary mint at Luceria. More recent analyses such as that by Andrew McCabe suggest LT to be the product of a separate mint, basically marking the transition of the Luceria mint to another, more convenient locale in Apulia closer to where the coin was needed.
