Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 12/16/2019 5:14 pm Yes, Roman. SMANS = Antioch mint, I believe. Perhaps Constantine II? GLORIA EXERCITVS reverse. The Roman specialists will chime in, I'm sure. Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 12/17/2019 02:25 am The legends translate something like this: CONSTANTINVS IVN(ior) NOB(ilissimus) C(aesar) = "Constantine Junior Most Noble Caesar". Caesar at this time was a rank equivalent to "prince", second only to the emperor, whose title was Augustus. GLORIA EXERCITUS = "Glory of the Army". SMANS = S(acra) M(oneta) AN(tiochia) S = "Sacred money of Antioch, [workshop] 6". The second "S" in the mint mark is actually the Greek letter stigma, a ligature of S and T, which also functioned as the Greek numeral 6. This type was struck at mints across the empire, c. AD 330-335. Edited by Kushanshah 12/17/2019 02:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
