NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED BUST TYPE - B4 l., HYBRID. Bust type not attested for obv. legend 7a (p. 321-322). It is also a hybrid of unlisted Constantine's II obverse with reverse ROME 237. However, portrait style is rather Treveran and this coin probably should be regarded as an ancient imitation. Could be noted in RIC after ROME 241.
