RIC VI, ROMA [before 55], CONSTANTIUS, UNLISTED FOR RULER

OBVERSE	FLVALCONSTANTIVSNOBC [FL VAL CONSTANTIVS NOB C]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir., seen from front.
REVERSE	PRINC-IP-I-IVVENTVT [PRINCIPI IVVENTVT]; prince stg. l. in military dress, r. holding standard; a second standard to r.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this issue only for Galerius Maximian. Note that prince is holding standard in each hand, not only in r. hand. Listed in King (p. 420, no. 67) but on p. 228 dated 293-294, so possibly belongs to pre-reform coinage. Cf. also RIC V/2 p. 301, no. 668. Coin should be listed before ROMA 55.
