OBVERSE

CONSTAN-TINVSAVG [CONSTANTINVS AVG]; head r., laur.

REVERSE

VIRTV-SAVGG [VIRTVS AVGG]; camp gates, two turrets, no doors, star above; varying numbers of stone layers. AQ(dot in crescent) in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED ISSUE. Not attested in RIC VII. However, note rev. which combines Providentiae type with VIRTVS AVGG legend and mintmark which suggests Aquileia (AQ) with dot in crescent typical rather for Siscia. Note also crude style on obv. Aparently an ancient imitation. Could be mentioned in footnotes after AQUILEIA 115.
