Constantine I, AE21 Follis. 313 AD, Antioch. 14th. officina.

IMP C FL VAL CONSTANTINVS P F AVG, laureate head right.
HERCVLI VICTORI, Hercules Farnese standing right, 
leaning forwards, right hand behind his back and
resting on club, lionskin over left arm.

Delta I in left field.
Mintmark ANT star.

RIC VI Antioch 170c var.
Unpublished officina. 

Note: The Herculi Victori type from Alexandria is 
listed in RIC for Maximinus II, Licinius I and 
Constantine I. Only officina (Z) is listed for 
Constantine I with that letter listed as being 
in the right field, (although actually, all examples 
of RIC 170a (Licinius); 170b (Maximinus) and Constantine appear to be in the left field). Although the Licinius version is the only one in RIC from officina 14, this 
officina was used for Constantine during the same 
period for other reverses (e.g. SOLI INVICTO, GENIO AVGVSTI), so this officina is to be expected for Constantine.
