RIC VII, ARLES [after 317], CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED ISSUE [D N CONSTANTINI...]

OBVERSE	CONSTAN-TINVSAVG [CONSTANTINVS AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	DNCONSTANTINIMAXAVG [D N CONSTANTINI MAX AVG] VOT/XXX in laurel wreath. SF•ARP in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. This type was struck for Constantine's vicennalia at Rome, Ticinum and Heraclea. Bruun notes that "Constantine celebrated his vicennalia twice, on 25 July 325 in Nicomedia and on the same day a year later in Rome" (footnote 2 on p. 57). Possibly the last issue minted in Arelate before the town changed its name to Constantina. Note, however, that the style resembles mint of Rome. Not listed in Ferrando. Should be listed in RIC after Arles 317.
