NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED BUST TYPE - D2. Only bust type D6 is attested for Constantine, but note that there is an error in RIC. Listed specimen has bust type D2 and comes from officina P, so the variety with bust type D6 probably does not exist. See CORRIGENDA, VOL. VII, p. 314. Coin should be listed before ROME 143 or as ROME 143 corrected.
