This type is described in RIC VII as emperor on eagle, but RIC VI calls it Jupiter on eagle. I think it is most likely Jupiter, though I use the RIC VII description below.

It was issued from Arles and Trier. It was first struck as a billon issue in A.D. 313 and struck again in A.D. 318 as a silvered follis.
