NOT IN RIC

[CORRECTION]. RIC erroneously lists for this type obv. legend 1b (IMP MAXENTIVS P F AVG) (p. 377). Actually, obv legend is 1a (IMP C MAXENTIVS P F AVG) like for ROMA 204. So this coin is in fact ROMA 204, unlisted officina Q. Listed in Drost (p. 309, no. 88) with this correction. Note, however, that Drost distinguishes four different decorations of pediment and this coin is described as having pediment which contains Jupiter and Hercules flanked by Giants.
