Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 11/02/2013 05:30 am With Ancients, the reverse is a major aspect of the coin, so matched photos of the other sides would be good. That being siad... 1#: Valentinian I 2#: Licinius I 3#: No way to tell, perhaps Theodosius II or Valentinian II 4#: A rare bust type of Crispus. Reverse should be IOVI CONS with a captive, also unusual. 5#: Licinius I 6#: Valens Report this Post to the Staff
Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 11/02/2013 07:20 am I think there was a coin skipped as there are 7 total. #5)The coin between Crispus and Licinius is Delmatius Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 11/02/2013 07:44 am Woops! I forget the most important one. Delmatius is the rarest and most valuable in there. For comparitative purposes, for ever delmatius found, 45 coins of Constantine I are found. In a sample of 230k coins, 351 bore the name of Delmatius, making him the 95th rarest issuer.
