Another late roman that has seen better days.This is my best Magnus Maximus, I guess that the others are not worth showing.

Emperor-Magnus-Maximus,-Constantinople-Mint

I think it is the DN MAG MAXIMVS PF AVG / REPARATIO REIPVB coin. But not sure.

It's from Arles though, as Magnus was a usurper in the West.

Thank you. I can no longer chanted the subject. I think the mintmark is TCON. Will not assume CON = Constantinople in the future!

So I can classify this one as RIC IX 26a, T.

Arelatum (Arles) was renamed Constantina in A.D. 328 after Constantine II; who was born in Arles in A.D. 316. After his death in A.D. 340, the name changed back; but Constantius II changed it back to Constantina in A.D. 354.

Constantina late Roman bronzes have CON with a workshop usually before, like (P)CON while Constantinople bronzes are CONS, usually with a workshop after, like CONS(A)

Thanks. I have two others from Magnus. But they are in worse condition. And I never exchanged coins abroad. Locally I sometimes do.
