NOT IN RIC

[CORRECTION]. Actually none of the coins cited in RIC as ROME 377 fits the description. Specimen from Berlin has bust type E6 (pearl diadem), others show Constantine II as augustus, not Constantine I. See coin cited in RIC as ROME 377 from Ars Classica auction VIII, lot 1498, but in fact RIC VIII ROME 1. However, according to Lars Ramskold, the real ROME 377 also exists and specimen shown here is a unique example of it.

NOTES

Siliqua. Weight 1.87 g; diameter 18 mm. Ex Lars Ramskold. Coin sold on Leu Numismatik web auction 25 (lot 2758) in March 2023 for CHF 340.
