Constantine I, 307/310-337. Follis (Bronze, 17 mm, 2.37 g, 6 h), a contemporary imitation of an issue from Arelate. Irregular mint, after 327. CONSTAN-TINVS AVG Laureate head of Constantine I to right. Rev. VIRTV-S AVGG / S - F / ARLP Camp gate with no doors and two turrets; above, star. Cf. RIC 313 (for prototype). Slightly rough and with a minor spot of corrosion on the reverse, otherwise, extremely fine.



The style of this coin is clearly unofficial, indicating that it is a contemporary 'barbarous' imitation. It is like Arles RIC 313 but the portrait is of Trier style, not Arles, and the gate has two turrets, not four, and no doors.
