REVERSE	DNCONSTANTINIMAXAVG [D N CONSTANTINI MAX AVG]; in laurel wreath VOT/XX. •S*AR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. Coin similar to ARLES 252 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". Note also dot in obv. legend. Not listed in Ferrando. Should be listed in RIC after ARLES 263.
