NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists issue ANTIOCHIA 74a-75b with the same pattern for Constantius, Galerius Maximian, Severus (as Caesar) and Maximinus, but not for Constantine (see p. 624-625, 627). General note from p. 605: "It is to be strongly presumed (though explicit proof is lacking) that the final issue of Group II aes continued into Group III with mark, weight and types unchanged. [...] the issue may not date until c. spring 307".
The detailed and exhaustive study by Jan de Veen shows that currently ten officinae (A-I) are recorded and some of them were already attested long before RIC vol. VI was written. For example Voetter lists in Gerin's collection officinae Α, Γ and ς. But probably specimens from all officinae were for the first time noted in hoards from the Middle East [see: Bastien, P., "Trouvaille de folles au Liban (294-307)", Revue Numismatique 1967, p. 171]. Other important studies: King, C. E. and Spaer, A., "A hoard of folles from Northern Sinai", Numismatic Chronicle 1977; Salzmann, D., "Folles of Severus II as Augustus and of Constantine I as Caesar from Antioch", Numismatic Chronicle 1983.
Coin should be listed in Group III before ANTIOCHIA 81.
