RIC VI, TICINUM [before 115], CONSTANTINE, UNLISTED ISSUE [MARTI CONSERVATORI], BUST TYPE D

OBVERSE	CONSTANTINVSPFAVG [CONSTANTINVS P F AVG]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir.
REVERSE	MARTICONSERVATORI [MARTI CONSERVATORI]; Bust of Mars r., helmeted and cuirassed.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. RIC lists similar unmarked issue only for Treveri [TREVERI 877-885] (p. 227). See CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 227. Note that the attribution may be disputable as the distinction between Ticinum and Aquileia is not unambiguous. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, BUST TYPES SEEN FROM REAR. Coin should be listed before TICINUM 115. Note, however, that there is a similar issue with bust type C (B5 in RIC VII), which belongs to the later 1/96 emission from Trier (attributtion based on die-link). So possibly these coins also belong to the same emission.
