NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED BUST TYPE - B2. RIC lists for Constantine I only bust type B1 (p. 549). Note that this type probably represents transitional form and could be described also as unusual variation of B1, i.e. not looking upwards. But cf. regular example of HERACLEA 60. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 549. Coin should be listed after HERACLEA 60.
