LONDINIUM 279-287. The description of the reverse mixes two issues: (a) Sol stg. r (or facing) with chlamys over l. shoulder and hanging behind and (b) Sol stg. l. with chlamys draped over l. shoulder only (see comparison of these two types). The issue (a), evidently earlier, has usually the shorter variants of obverse legend: CONSTANTINVS P F AVG, CONSTANTINVS P AVG, CONSTANTINVS AVG, CONSTANTINVS AG and exceptionally IMP CONSTANTINVS P AVG. The issue (b) is known only with longer IMP... legends: IMP CONSTANTINVS P AVG and IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG. Rev. legend breaks V-I-C and I-C-T are attested for both issues, but breaks V-IC-T and I-C only for issue (b).
Examples of issue (a) [heavier folles; 1/72 libra]:
- LONDINIUM 281; obv. legend IMP CONSTANTINVS P AVG; bust r., laur., cuir. [click for picture]
- LONDINIUM 284; obv. legend CONSTANTINVS P F AVG; bust r., laur., cuir. [click for picture]
- LONDINIUM 286; obv. legend CONSTANTINVS P AVG; bust l., laur., helm., cuir., spear over r. shoulder, shield on l. arm; from Classical Numismatic Group site [click for picture]
- LONDINIUM [after 287 - unlisted in RIC]; obv. legend CONSTANTINVS AG; bust r., laur., helm., cuir., r. holding spear forward, shield on l. arm; from Classical Numismatic Group site [click for picture]
- LONDINIUM [after 287 - unlisted in RIC]; obv. legend CONSTANTINVS AVG; bust l., laur., helm., cuir., spear over r. shoulder, shield on l. arm; from Classical Numismatic Group site [click for picture]
Examples of issue (b) [lighter folles; 1/96 libra]:
- LONDINIUM 279; obv. legend IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG; bust r., laur., cuir. [click for picture]
- LONDINIUM 280; obv. legend IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG; bust r., laur., dr., cuir. [click for picture]
- LONDINIUM 281; obv. legend IMP CONSTANTINVS P AVG; bust r., laur., cuir. [click for picture]
- LONDINIUM 282; obv. legend IMP CONSTANTINVS P AVG; bust r., laur., dr., cuir. [click for picture]
So far both types of Sol are attested only for LONDINIUM 281. Specimen from issue (a) could be a transitional form with introduction of longer IMP... legend.
Note that Hélène Huvelin [Huvelin H., "Les deux émissions londoniennes 
et 
", Numismatische Zeitschrift 1990, bd. 101] also recognizes LONDINIUM 279, 280, 281, 282 and 283 as a late issue, minted to the new 1/96 libra weight-standard.

TREVERI 397-417. Description should be supplemented in the following way: "r. holding rudder (or wand) over globe (or wheel)" (like for TREVERI 378-396). See example of unlisted TREVERI [after 414a].

TREVERI 671-678. RIC mixes two issues: one in fact minted in Treveri and one minted in Cyzicus. Both have PTR in exergue, but coins from Cyzicus have also second mintmark (sic!) in middle field: K for Kyzikos and greek letter for officina (D or V). Probably Cyzicus received model of the new issue from Treveri and die engraver made an exact copy, including PTR mark. The mistake was soon recognized, PTR removed and Cyzicus mintmark placed in exergue. This corrected Cyzicus issue is listed in RIC as CYZICUS 22a-23b.

- TREVERI 678 [click for picture from DIRTY OLD COINS site] (after correction CYZICUS 23b, officina D) [click for picture]
TREVERI 674 and 675 have BAEATISSIMO in obverse legend (instead of BEATISSIMO which was in use only in Cyzicus) and they are probably the earliest and the most exact copy of the Treveran model.

TREVERI 877-885 and 886-895. RIC assumes that these two unmarked issues were minted exclusively at Treveri. General note from p. 161-162: "The theme of Mars and Sol appears even more emphatically on a very common double series, in Constantine's name alone, with reverses Marti Conservatori, bust of Mars, and Soli Invicto Comiti, bust of Sol: the portrait style is indubitably that of Trier". In fact, these types were probably only introduced in Treveri and, to a smaller extend, in London in 311. Than, in spring of 312, after the Constantinian conquest of the northern part of Italy, they were adopted by two north Italian mints: Aquileia and Ticinum. At the same time the new standard of 1/72 to the pound was introduced at both mints. Some specimens from Treveran issue are heavier, but all later and lighter emissions can be distinguished only by style and die links. See: P. Bastien, "Une emission de folles sans marque a Ticinum en 312", Schweizer Münzblatter [Gazette Numismatique Suisse] 20, 1970; P. Bastien, "Folles sans marque emis par Constantin en Italie", Schweizer Münzblatter [Gazette Numismatique Suisse] 24, 1974; G. Gautier, "An Unpublished Nummus of Constantine I of the Mint of London", NC 1992.
p. 298
TICINUM 127-129. Two issues are mixed here: one, probably earlier (a), with Sol stg. l. with chlamys over l. shoulder and hanging behind (similar to chlamys on rev. of TICINUM 130-136) and another (b) with Sol stg. l. with chlamys draped over l. shoulder only, also listed in RIC vol. VII as TICINUM 1-4 (p. 360). Note that few specimens from that issue are described in vol. VII as "with pleat of chlamys visible on both sides of body" (n. 3 and 4 on p. 360), which corresponds to "chlamys over l. shoulder and hanging behind" in RIC vol. VI. See also comparison of these two types.

AQUILEIA. Group IV; AES (i). Obverse legend marked as 4a is DIVO CONSTANTIO PIO and should be DIVO CONSTANTIO AVG. Voetter, p. 62, have AVG only in the obv. legend of this type at Aquileia (quoted after Curtis Clay). See example of AQUILEIA 127 from Classical Numismatic Group site. Error appears also in INDEX I: OBVERSE LEGENDS (p. 690).

ROMA 74. According to picture 74 on plate 6 the bust type is actually not C [bust r., rad., dr., with or without cuir.] but D [bust r., rad., dr., with or without cuir., seen from rear].

OSTIA 83-88 and 89-92b. The description of this two issues could be misleading. On the majority of coins Sol is standing left (weight on right leg), but sometimes is standing right (weight on left leg). The last variant only rarely may be described as "facing, head l." according to footnote 2 on p. 409. In both cases Sol's torso is shown frontally. Note also that Sol's chlamys is usually over left shoulder when globe is close to body (a) and is usually flying out when globe is held up (b). Not "very occasionaly flying out", as erroneously claims footnote 3 on p. 409. "Chlamys hanging behind" is the rarest case. See examples of:
