DIVOCONSTANTIOPIO [DIVO CONSTANTIO PIO]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED BUST TYPE. Specimen similar to LUGDUNUM 269 except for bust cuirassed and draped instead of cuirassed only. Bastien distinguishes such busts (the former is marked K*1 and the latter - K*2) but this variety is not listed in Bastien Lyon (294-316) and Bastien Lyon - suppléments I-II. Should be listed in RIC before LUGDUNUM 269.
