The emission 'CONS•' was not included in RIC VII. It is, however, a complete emission, and just like the 'CONS' and the 'CONS✱' emissions, it consisted of 'DAFNE' coins for Constantine I (officinae A, B, D, E & Z) and 'PROVIDENTIAE' coins for the two Caesars (G struck for Constantine Caesar and S for Constantius).
