But the most unusual and interesting feature of this coin is the inscription on Constantine's shield: VOT X/SIC XX in two lines. It probably refers to Constantine's decennalia of 315-316. Not listed in Bastien Lyon (294-316) and Bastien Lyon - suppléments I-II. Should be listed in RIC after LYONS 44.
