NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this issue for Constantius, Galerius Maximian and Severus (p. 317). But note different rev. legend: ...CAESS NOSTR instead of ...AVGG NOSTR. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 317. Note that so far two different rev. legend breaks are attested: S-N and unbroken, which could make in RIC two separate entries (cf. RIC VI TREVERI 802 and 807 or SISCIA 61 and SISCIA 62). Listed in Paolucci & Zub (no. 132). Not listed in Depeyrot. Coin should be listed in RIC after AQUILEIA 42.
