Reference

Note:

Obverse inscription is FLA VAL CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES, not FLA VAL CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES. Note that this obverse inscription is noted for RIC VI, no.33a in the Ashmolean collection (see p.665, n.4). However, as there is no such coin in the Ashmolean main collection, that note would appear to pertain to this specimen instead.
