UNLISTED ISSUE. The SMRA issue was struck before fall of Crispus and in fact it precedes by years the SMRP issue, i.e. ROME 281 (2.54 g, 19 mm), ROME 282 (2.36 g) and ROME 284 (2.42 g, 18 mm), which was struck probably in 328-329. See: Lars Ramskold, "Constantine's Vicennalia and the Death of Crispus", Niš and Byzantium XI, 2013. Coin should be listed in RIC before ROME 285.
