RIC VI, LUGDUNUM [after 303], CONSTANTINE, UNLISTED REVERSE TYPE

OBVERSE	IMPCCONSTANTINVSPFAVG [IMP C CONSTANTINVS P F AVG]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir., seen from rear.
REVERSE	VIRTPERPCON-STANTINI AVG [VIRT PERP CONSTANTINI AVG]; Virtus stg. l. in military dress, r. holding Victory on globe, l. holding parazonium. CI in left field, H over S in right field. PLC in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED REVERSE TYPE. Not attested in RIC. Bastien Lyon (294-316) lists this type on p. 245 as minor variety of no. 521, i.e. variety of LUGDUNUM 302, but with confusing description of rev. (parazonium instead of spear), while on rev. of LUGDUNUM 302 there is also shield and captive to l. Therefore this type is virtually unlisted in Bastien Lyon (294-316). Should be listed in RIC after LUGDUNUM 303.
