RIC VII, LYONS [before 187], CONSTANTINE II, UNLISTED BUST TYPE [M1 l. var.]

OBVERSE	CONSTANTINVSIVNNOBC [CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C]; bust l., laur., cuir., globe in r. hand, pugio (or parazonium) in l. hand [M1 l. var.].
REVERSE	BEATATRAN-QVILLITAS [BEATA TRANQVILLITAS]; globe set on altar inscribed VO/TIS/XX in three lines; above, three stars. C in left field, R in right field. PLG in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED BUST TYPE - M1 l. var.. Not attested for obv. legend 7c (p. 133). Similar to bust M1 except for pugio/parazonium in l. hand. Could be also regarded as another of many varieties of busts I1/I2 (see CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 89-90). The variety itself is somehow similar to LYONS 187 but according to Bastien Lyon (318-337) (footnote 3 on p. 158) unique specimen cited in RIC was incorrectly described (bust M2 l.). Listed in Bastien Lyon (318-337) (p. 158, no. 128). Should be listed in RIC as corrected LYONS 187 or before LYONS 187.
