Going though the late roman coins...

Constantinopolis---Rome-Mint

I think this Constantinople commemorative was minted in Rome. That would be the top of the R on the left. Looks like RIC VII, Rome, 355, but with as asterisk in exergue. Is that correct?

Is victory supposed to be on a ship?

that is a star in the mintmark-- R star E

and Victory is standing on the prow of a ship...The victory on a prow type alludes to the naval victory of Crispus and his subsequent capture of Byzantium (soon to be re-named Constantinople).

Thanks Victor. I know that these coins were issued abudantly. But find surprising the diversity of styles.

Constantinopolis---Rome-Mint

I have this other one, I think it is from Alres? Another western mint but the figures do not follow the Rome style.
Do you know if these coins were issued over a long time? Many years during which they changed? Or the differences are regional?

Yes, it is from Arles. The Victory on a prow type was issued for about 10 years from A.D. 330- 340. Style for this type varied from mint to mint...often you can tell just from the obverse which mint a coin is from.

Thank you. Comparing mine I also see that the weight varied widely. The first is small with 1.31 g. The second larger with 2.24 g.
