UNLISTED FOR RULER. Constans is not attested for this issue, which was minted in 326 (Crispus still present) while Constans was proclaimed Caesar in 333. Note also errors in legends and the light weight. Apparently an ancient imitation of ROME 290 with slightly changed obv. legend. Could be noted after ROME 290.
