Here is a bit rarer type (r5 in RIC) from Rome that just sold on Ebay for $155.00.

Constantine I
A.D. 320
CONSTANTINVS AVG, helmeted and cuirassed bust.
CONSTANTINI AVG surrounding VO TIS XX  in three lines
in exergue RP
RIC VII Rome 211

Did you get it?

I bid on that coin too. It's not from Rome mint but from Arles. It's an unlisted variant (with the herlmeted portrait) of RIC VII Arles 213.

Yes, I originally thought it was Arles but talked myself into believing it must be an RP in the exergue. Also the Rome example is surrounded by a wreath. I will move this to the unlisted section. It is not listed in Ferrando either.

I missed the arched eyebrow, typical of Lyons coins.
