RIC VI, TREVERI 158a, CONSTANTIUS, REVERSE VARIETY, OFFICINA A

OBVERSE	CONSTANTIVSNOBCAES [CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	GENIOPOP-VLIROMANI [GENIO POPVLI ROMANI]; Genius stg. l., head towered, naked but for chlamys over l. shoulder, r. holding patera, l. cornucopiae. A in l. field. TR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	REVERSE VARIETY. Specimen similar to TREVERI 158a (BM B.274, 11.05 g, 27 mm) except for Genius which has head towered instead of modius on head. Variety mentioned in RIC in footnotes. Cf. footnote 1 and 3 on p. 180: "Genius towered-a rare early variant". Probably this variety is not so rare which should be considered in description of TREVERI 149-162. Note also that sometimes the difference between these two types is vague and rather arbitrary.
