Commentary
Oeil stylisé. Nous avons proposé un exemplaire similaire pour l’atelier de Lyon dans MONNAIES 34, n° 969 (B. 253). Cette émission ne semble pas recensée pour ROME. Mais en revanche, nous avons une émission datée entre 337 et 340 avec .TRP., .TRS..
Stylized eye. We have proposed a similar example for the Lyon mint in MONNAIES 34, no. 969 (B. 253). This issue does not seem to be recorded for ROME. But on the other hand, we have an issue dated between 337 and 340 with .TRP., .TRS.

Historical background
ROMA
(330-348)
Rome was founded on April 21, 753 BC according to Varro (Ab Urbe Condita). The city, whose population fluctuated between 400,000 and one million during the High Empire, lost its importance from the second half of the 3rd century. The choice by Constantine of a new capital, from 326, dealt him a fatal blow from which the Urbs would not recover before the Renaissance. The city will still survive for nearly one hundred and fifty years, despite two sacks: those of 410 and 455. Rome is no longer in Rome.
