jakesis Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 7:27 pm Hey everyone, I got these three coins in Florence many years ago from a small store that claimed they were real. The coins were so cheap, I decided to take the risk, and bought them. (I don't remember the price, but they were at most a few bucks a coin.) I'm trying to indentify the coins, and determine if they're even real. One is Constantine, and I was able to find the coin online. The other also appears to be Constantine, but I couldn't find the coin. And I can't tell what the third is. Any takers? Thanks. PS Sorry, the pictures aren't great -- trying to shoot them in my kitchen at night, and only coming out so-so. Edited by jakesis 02/21/2015 7:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coin 3 is from Julian II , coin 2 looks like its from Constantius II( I am not sure) Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 7:34 pm Yes they are all real. All members of the Constantine family. I believe the first one is Constantine II, the second one is Constantine I , and the third one is Constantius Gallus. Report this Post to the Staff
Augustus Maximus Pillar of the Community Italy 1790 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 7:40 pm I think you are right about coin 3 Echizento. I really hate the early portraits of the sons of Constantine I , they look so similar and to add insult to injury the legends are hard to tell apart. Enough of my rambling for now though ;) Report this Post to the Staff
