Is any one playing? Where are all the Byzantine coins fitting into that period? Seems there is motivation lacking, was surprised by the limited response to Augustus - no Chinese, no Jewish, no Celtic coin to mention just a few. And @'chuy1530': The reverse of your coin is upside down. |

I have some coins from Echizento's AD 520. Just because someone already posted that empire dont feel like you cant post your pf the same empire, your coin is different.

I have a very nice example of Justin's pagan type (the one with Tyche), but I probably won't be able to post any photos until at least 8-9 hours later.

Okay, here we go.  Constantius II ( 337-361) Fel Temp Repatio AE-2 Weight-5.8 Grams Struck- 348-351 CE Mint-I think it's Constantinople but it could be Arelate.( Any help would be appreciated) This one was a gift from a friend who gave it to me last night. So it was a bit unexpected. Reverse is a bit mushy but the obverse more than makes up for it. Edited by Augustus Maximus
