RIC VI, ROMA 224, MAXENTIUS, UNLISTED OFFICINA Q

OBVERSE	IMPCMAXENTIVSPFAVG [IMP C MAXENTIVS P F AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	VIRTV-SAVGN [VIRTVS AVG N]; Maxentius, with shield on l. arm, galloping r. and spearing kneeling foeman; second foeman prostrate on ground. RBQ in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OFFICINA - Q. RIC lists for this type only officina S (p. 379). However, note that officina Q is probably the only one which exists for this type. Note also that ROMA 224 is listed in RIC after Voetter with remark: "Contradicting his [Voetter] text, and needing confirmation" (footnote 3 on p. 379). Listed in Drost (p. 312, no. 108) as confirmed ROMA 224 but only officina Q is attested.
