Constantine I VLPP from Siscia with star on helmet

[Victor]

Here is a nice example of a helmeted and cuirassed VLPP from Siscia with a star on the helmet. These turn up infrequently, as this bust type (D6) usually has a plain helmet. The H11 and H12 (busts with spear & spear and shield) type have stars on the helmet.
