Procopius Type Set (365-366). More precisely -- Sept. 28, 365 to May 27, 366 according to RIC.

****** Supplemental List ***********
There are apparently a few pieces of two extremely rare larger denominations. These are so rare that I have excluded them from the main tables and put them in the supplemental list.
These are of the same reverse type as Types 7 and 8.
"AE30" RIC Her 6, R4, plate XV.8 in VG.
"medallion?" RIC Cyz 4 p. 240, R4. Cayon 7 (Cyz) "double maiorina" p. 2742, 1 photo in aVF, holed at top/top.
RIC Con 14 "medallion". Cayon 8 (Con) "double maiorina" p. 2742, 1 photo in VF+/aVF, holed at top/bottom.
The above three RIC listings are, from the Cayon photos, clearly the same denomination and type, merely from different mints.The following is the same type in smaller size.
AE2, RIC Cyz 6, R4, RIC Nic 8. Cayon 9-10, no photos.
