RIC VI, LUGDUNUM [after 139], CONSTANTIUS, UNLISTED BUST TYPE [O], OFFICINA B

OBVERSE	CONSTANTIVSNOBCAES [CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir., spear over r. shoulder, shield on l. arm [O].

NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED BUST TYPE - O. Not attested for obv. legend 3a (p. 251-252). Note that the presence of cuirass could be questionable and this coin may be regarded as LUGDUNUM 136a (bust J, draped only). But see also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 248; BUSTS D, E, H and J. Similar to specimen shown in Bastien Lyon (294-316) (plate XX, no. 213d; see below; in Bastien bust F*6) and regarded as LUGDUNUM 138b in RIC (bust L, cuirassed only). Note, however, that similar specimen from officina A (plate XVI, no. 162; also bust F*6) is regarded in Bastien Lyon (294-316) as LUGDUNUM 135 (bust H, draped only, sceptre instead of spear). Coin should be listed after LUGDUNUM 139. See also: LUGDUNUM 135, CONSTANTIUS, [CORRECTION] = [after 139] UNLISTED BUST TYPE [O], OFFICINA A
