RIC VII, ROME [after 231], CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED ISSUE [VIRTVS EXERCIT] [IRREGULAR COIN]

  

OBVERSE

CONSTAN-TINVSAVG [CONSTANTINVS AVG]; bust r., helmeted, cuir. [ROME 207].

VIRTVS-EXERCIT [VIRTVS EXERCIT]; standard inscribed VOT/XX with captive std. on ground on either side. S in left field, F in right field. RT in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED ISSUE. Not attested for ROME. Rev. somehow similar (with S|F in fields) to AQUILEIA 47-57A, SISCIA 109-111 and 119, and THESSALONICA 75-81. However, this coin is apparently an ancient imitation. Could be noted in RIC after ROME 231.

NOTES

Weight 3.80 g; diameter 20 mm. From Constantine Venetis' collection.
