RIC VII, ARLES [after 263], CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED ISSUE [SARMATIA DEVICTA], BUST B1, OFFICINA P

  

OBVERSE

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

REVERSE

SARMATIA-DEVICTA [SARMATIA DEVICTA]; Victory advancing r., holding trophy and branch and spurning captive on ground to r. •P*AR in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED ISSUE. Coin similar to ARLES 257 except for dot in m.m. The existence of other specimens with the same m.m. proves that it is unlikely an engraver's error. Additionally, in footnote 257 on p. 262 Bruun mentions one more specimen from Milan (ex Gerin Collection) "with •S*AR". Listed in Ferrando (p. 119, no. 461). Should be listed in RIC after ARLES 263.
