NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this issue only for Crispus and Constantine II (p. 262). Note that this coin could be regarded as a hybrid (VOT X for Constantius II is highly unexpected). It suggests, as Bruun said, "that the vota coinage and the Providentiae coinage overlapped" (p. 230). However, the obv. legend FL CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES is not attested in RIC VII! Not listed in Ferrando. Should be listed in RIC after ARLES 263.
