NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this issue for Constantine II and Delmatius (p. 140). Note, however, that this coin may be regarded as an ancient imtation. Also, the whole issue LYONS 271-275 is omitted in Bastien Lyon (318-337) and all these coins probably should be regarded as ancient imitations.
