Please forgive my curiosity, but why do you refer to these as "pre-reform" folles? The earliest of them Sutherland dates to 297, which is three years after the coinage reform.
Nor are they the first of the post reform issues, having been preceded by issues from both Trier (Treveri) and Lyon (Lugdunum).
Have you found some information which overturns Sutherland's chronology in RIC VI? That is not a rhetorical question. I have been out of the loop for a while and probably don't know the latest research on this. I do seem to recall that there was an article or series on these in the Celator a few years ago, but I do not recall the publication dates nor the gist of the articles. You are in a good position to bring me up to speed.
Very attractive pieces, BTW.
