RIC VII, TICINUM [after 162], CONSTANTINE I, UNLISTED ISSUE [BEATA TRANQVILLITAS] [IRREGULAR COIN]

OBVERSE	CONSTA-NTINVSA [CONSTANTINVS A (sic!)]; bust r., laur., wearing trabea, eagle-tipped sceptre in r. hand.
REVERSE	BEATATRAN-QVILLITAS [BEATA TRANQVILLITAS]; globe set on altar inscribed VO/TIS/XX; above, three stars. TT in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. Not attested in RIC and not expected for Ticinum. But cf. footnote 160 on p. 380 where Bruun mentions some irregular coins: "Of BEATA TRAN-QVILLITAS/VO/TIS/XX, Mun has m.m. TT, obv. IVL CRIS-PVS NOB C (B1)". Note also error in obv. legend: A instead of AVG. Apparently an ancient imitation. For probable prototype cf. TRIER 318 or similar TRIER 342, TRIER 369, TRIER 390 and TRIER 423. See also: TICINUM [after 162], CRISPUS, UNLISTED ISSUE [BEATA TRANQVILLITAS] [IRREGULAR COIN]
