UNLISTED BUST TYPE - E. RIC lists only bust type C (p. 392).
General note from p. 349: "[...] this issue [...] is also the last of the period. [...] Soli Invicto Comiti was probably struck [...] mainly in Constantine's name, included rare varieties for Maximinus. [...] the coins are scarce. The issue, which was comparatively small, falls in the first half of 313".
See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 391-392. Coin should be listed after ROMA 374.
