REVERSE

GLOR-IAEXERC-ITVS [GLORIA EXERCITVS]; two soldiers stg. facing one another, holding reversed spear and resting hand on shield; between them two standards. Dot in crescent PLG in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. Not attested for this issue. Also bust type B4 l. is not attested for Constantine I (p. 138). Listed in Bastien Lyon - supplément II (p. 143, no. 218α) but probably should be regarded as an ancient imitation. Could be noted in RIC after LYONS 253.

NOTES

From Bastien Lyon - supplément II (plate XXXIX, no. 218α).
