RIC VI, OSTIA 5, MAXENTIUS, [CORRECTION]

OBVERSE	MAXENTI-VSPFAVG [MAXENTIVS P F AVG]; facing, head bare, dr., cuir.
REVERSE	TEMPORVMFELICITASAVGN [TEMPORVM FELICITAS AVG N]; Wolf and twins l. POST in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	[CORRECTION]. The reverse is described in RIC as "Wolf and twins r.". Should be "Wolf and twins l.", i.e., left instead of right. Note that RIC cites Alföldi [Alföldi, M.R, Die constantinische Goldprägung], Cohen and a specimen from the British Museum. Additionally, Sutherland mentions in footnote 2 on p. 401 that "Maur. [Maurice, J., La numismatique constantinienne] records B.M. specimen also with wolf and twins to l., in error". In fact, Maurice was right and only this variant (wolf and twins to l.) exists. Listed in Drost (p. 328, no. 9) with this correction.

NOTES

Aureus. Weight 5.55 g. From the British Museum Collection (reg. no. R.243; Drost gives erroneously R 0137).
