RIC VII, ANTIOCH [before 46], CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED ISSUE [AOVENTVS AVGVSTI N]

OBVERSE	CONSTANT-INVSPFAVG [CONSTANTINVS P F AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	AOVENTVS-AVGVSTIN [AOVENTVS (sic!) AVGVSTI N]; Emperor mounted l., cloak flying, raising r. hand, holding long sceptre in l. hand. SMAN• in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. RIC lists this type only with m.m. SMAN*. See ANTIOCH 48 (Hirsch XXII, lot 153; cited in RIC). Note that Emperor is holding long sceptre in l. hand instead of spear. Note also AOVENTVS in reverse legend, probably the only existing variant for this type. See: CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 685. Not listed in Depeyrot. Should be listed in RIC before ANTIOCH 46.
