RIC VI, ROMA [after 354], CONSTANTINE, UNLISTED ISSUE [VIRTVS AVGGG]

REVERSE	VRT-VS-A-VGGG [VRTVS (sic!) AVGGG]; prince with shield on l. arm, galloping r. over two fallen foemen, striking downwards with his spear. RP in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. Probably minted shortly after Constantine's victory over Maxentius. Known only for Maximinus and Constantine, but three "G" in AVGGG suggests all three Augusti, so Licinius' coin is also expected.
