NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED BUST TYPE - E6. Not attested for Constantine I (p. 343). According to Lars Ramskold, this type belongs to earlier issue minted for vicennalia. Also, coins cited as ROME 377 actually show Constantine II as Augustus. However, real ROME 377 probably also exists. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 343. Coin should be listed after ROME 377.
