UNLISTED ISSUE. RIC lists similar issue from Aquileia minted for Constantine I, Constantine II, Crispus and Licinius I (p. 403). The presence of Licinius suggests that the date is 320-321, Constantine's quindecennial year. Another similar issue from Siscia is mentioned in "Addenda and Corrigenda"; known only for Crispus and Constantine II (p. 716-717). Coin should be listed before THESSALONICA 72.
