RIC VI, ROMA 205, MAXENTIUS, [CORRECTION = ROMA 204, off. Q]

OBVERSE	IMPCMAXENTIVSPFAVG [IMP C MAXENTIVS P F AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	CONSERV-VRBSVAE [CONSERV VRB SVAE]; Roma seated facing, head l., in hexastyle temple, r. holding globe, l. sceptre, shield at side. Knobs or figures as actoteria. Pediment contains Dioscuri flanked by river-gods. H in left field. RQ in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	[CORRECTION]. RIC erroneously lists for this type obv. legend 1b (IMP MAXENTIVS P F AVG) (p. 377). Actually, obv legend is 1a (IMP C MAXENTIVS P F AVG) like for ROMA 204. So this coin is in fact ROMA 204, unlisted officina Q. Listed in Drost (p. 309, no. 88) with this correction. Note that according to description in RIC pediment contains Dioscuri. However, Drost distinguishes four different decorations of pediment.
