RIC VII, ARLES 38, CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED OFFICINA Q

OBVERSE	IMPCONSTANTINVSPFAVG [IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir.
REVERSE	SOLIINV-I-CTOCOMITI [SOLI INVICTO COMITI]; Sol stg. l., fold of chlamys spread under l. arm, globe in l. hand, raising r. hand. QARL in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OFFICINA - Q. RIC lists for this type only officina P [rarity R5] (p. 237). Note that description in RIC could be misleading. The "fold of chlamys" sometimes means chlamys which Bruun usually describes as "flying under l. arm" (e.g. ARLES 19-20). There is also no mention about globe in l. hand and raised r. hand. For comparison, see picture of ARLES 40 (similar rev., but Sol with chlamys across l. shoulder). Listed in Ferrando (p. 74, no. 48), but coin regarded as a type not listed in RIC.
