REVERSE	VIRTV-CAESS [VIRTV (sic!) CAESS]; gateway with wide open doors, four turrets, star above. R[crescent]Q in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED REVERSE. Reverse type and m.m. pattern not attested for Rome (but cf. footnote 291 on p. 330" "Maur. [Maurice, Numismatique constantinienne] [...] records the m.m. R[crescent]T, Q in P. [Paris] [...] not to be found"). The obverse copies the style of Trier and reverse - that of Arles. Apparently an ancient imitation. Could be noted after ROME 290.
