RIC VI, ANTIOCHIA 105, CONSTANTINE, [CORRECTION]

OBVERSE	FLVALCONSTANTINVSFILAVG [FL VAL CONSTANTINVS FIL AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	GENIOF-ILAVG [GENIO FIL AVG]; Genius stg. l., modius on head, naked but for chlamys over l. shoulder, r. holding patera (from which liquor flows), l. cornucopiae. Crescent in left field, Є in right field. ANT in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	[CORRECTION]. According to RIC, ANTIOCHIA 105 has dot in m.m. (ANT•). However, nearly all specimens seen by the present author have m.m. without dot. Variety with dot probably also exists but is very rare. See example of ANTIOCHIA 105 with dot very small and hardly visible. Cf. similar variants for ANTIOCHIA 103-104 and ANTIOCHIA 106a-b.
