Constantine I (309 - 310 A.D., as Filus Augustorun in the East). I've been unable to find a reference for this type. Struck in Antioch, here Genius is holding a figure of Victory rather than the head of Serapis. OB: IMP C FL VAL CONSTANTINVS PP AVG. Reverse: GENIO AVGVSTI, with a Star and 'A' in the left & right fields; 'ANT' in exergue. Genius is standing facing left, he holds a figure of Victory, which itself is holding a wreath in his extended right hand, cornucopia in left arm.
