RIC VI, ROMA 230, MAXENTIUS, UNLISTED OFFICINA Q

OBVERSE	MAXENTI-VSPFAVG [MAXENTIVS P F AVG]; bust l., rad. (?), helm., cuir., r. holding spear forward, l. shield.
REVERSE	VICTORIAA-ETERNAAVGN [VICTORIA AETERNA AVG N]; Victory stg. r., writing VOT/X on shield on pillar; seated captive to l., turning head. RQ in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OFFICINA - Q. RIC lists for this type only officinae P and S (p. 380). Listed in Drost (p. 314, no. 123); all officinae attested. But note that Drost lists together ROMA 230 and ROMA 231 (RIC lists officinae P, S and T) because busts G and H are in fact identical. Note that helmet seems to be radiate, so this specimen may be regarded as a separate bust type.
