RIC VI, LUGDUNUM [before 224], CONSTANTINE, UNLISTED FOR RULER

OBVERSE	FLVALCONSTANTINVSNOBC [FL VAL CONSTANTINVS NOB C]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir.

NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this issue only for Maximian Herculius (p. 258). Listed in Bastien Lyon (294-316) (p. 228, no. 426) and (p. 231, no. 447) because Bastien splits this issue into two parts: before and after reduction of weight to 1/48 libra. There is a good reason for such decision (see also footnote 2 on p. 258 in RIC). However, the present author decided to follow RIC and list all specimens as one issue. Coin should be listed in RIC before LUGDUNUM 224. See also: LUGDUNUM [before 224], GALERIUS MAXIMIAN, UNLISTED FOR RULER LUGDUNUM [before 224], MAXIMINUS, UNLISTED FOR RULER
