UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this issue only for Licinius I, Crispus and Constantine II (p. 256). See footnote 8 on p. 229: "No coins of off. P are known, nor any obvs. of Constantine and Licinius II, but in view of the scarcity of our material this is probably accidental". Listed in Ferrando (p. 169, no. 719). Should be listed in RIC after ARLES 199.
