Constantine I Lugdunum Follis (2)

[rol69]

Hello everyone, I guess that this is another unlisted Constantine I follis from the lugdunum mint, at least unlisted in the Bastien ; it is closed to Bastien XI-385 (RIC194b) for this type of bust, and to Bastien XI-386 (RIC 198) for the obverse legends ; so we may call it Bastien XI-386 alpha. I think that the bust type is definitely Lugdunum. Any comment will be welcome.

Constantin I as Caesar : July 25, 306 – April 307

Obverse : CONSTANTINVS NOB C ; Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right (Bastien A*)
Reverse : GENIO POPV-LI ROMANI // * and altar; Genius standing left, with a patera in right hand over altar, and cornucopiae in left.
PLG in exergue
29 mm, 10.88 gr, 12h

Nice coin. If I'm right, it is listed as RIC 199c (R) with a reference to Voetter. Obviously P. Bastien omitted to add a footnote in his catalogue as he usually do for the coins he didn't find. I also checked in my Bastien and found no reference.

Thanks Jay !
this information is very valuable for me since I have no access to the RIC. With all these interesting comments, I will surely present more unlisted Lugdunum follis in the near future. Best, Roland
