UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this type only for Diocletian (p. 258). But cf. footnote 3 on p. 258: "G. 98 gives the same obv. with Quies Augg rev., perhaps by confusion: I have not seen this variety anywhere". Listed in Bastien Lyon (294-316) (p. 231, no. 445). Note, however, that according to Bastien this type belongs to the later and lighter part of S|C/PLC issue. Shouel be listed in RIC after LUGDUNUM 225.
