RIC VI, ROMA, CONSTANTIUS, UNLISTED ISSUE [MONETA AVGG]

OBVERSE	CONSTANTI-VSNOBCAES [CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES]; bust l., laur., naked (heroic), spear pointing forward, shield on l. arm.
REVERSE	MONETAAV-GG [MONETA AVGG]; three Monetae stg. l., each holding scale and cornucopiae.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. Æ medallions of the rulers of the First Tetrarchy with three Monetae on reverse are omitted both in RIC V/2 and RIC VI. Apparently most of these coins belong to the pre-reform coinage, but the present author decided to include them in this supplement. Note that the weight of individual specimens could vary significantly (from less than 20 g to 40 g and more). Not listed in Gnecchi.
