REVERSE	PROVIDEN-TIAEAVGG• [PROVIDENTIAE AVGG•]; camp gate, two turrets, no doors, star above, varying number of stone layers. Dot in arch. PLON in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. Specimen similar to LONDON 293 except for dot over PLON (in arch). Variant mentioned in footnotes 293 and 296 on p. 116 (for Constantine's I and Constantine's II coins). Relatively large number of known specimens suggests a separate issue or at least sub-issue. But note that dot above arch is probably a centering mark (see example of LONDON 293 with dot above arch). Note also dot after rev. legend. Variant not mentioned in Cloke-Toone. Should be listed in RIC after LONDON 300.
