RIC VII, CONSTANTINOPLE 38, CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED MINTMARK, OFFICINA B

OBVERSE	CONSTANTI-NVSMAXAVG [CONSTANTINVS MAX AVG]; bust r., rosette-diadem, dr., cuir.
REVERSE	CONSTANTINI-ANADAFNE [CONSTANTINIANA DAFNE]; Victory std. l. on cippus, palm branch in each hand, looking r.; trophy in front, at the foot of which kneeling captive turning head, spurned by Victory. B in left field. CONS• in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED MINTMARK. Specimen similar to CONSTANTINOPLE 38 except for dot in m.m. instead of star. In footnote 38 on p. 575 Bruun erroneously mixes these two separate issues: one with star and one with dot - claiming that the dot is "most likely intended for a star". For the second variant officina B is not attested. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 575 and CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 574-575.
