|
Obv: CONSTANTI-NVS MAX AVG, rosette-diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right
|
Rev: dot GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS, two soldiers holding spears & shields with two
|
standards between them, O on banners, mintmark: dot SMHB dot
|
RIC VII Heraclea 131, rated R2.
|
Note: RIC describes the "legend dot" as being in the left field, but checking
|
back several years ago with the Director of Numismatics of Vienna Museum
|
(where the only other examples known at the time were housed), revealed
|
that the dot is at the start of the legend, as on this coin.
