VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 11:50 pm I promise, last one for today Got it along with the Constantine Vot XX many months ago. It doesn't show but some of the remaining patina on the reverse still shines. Edited by VisigothKing 04/20/2012 11:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/21/2012 12:51 am I really like the details on this one--and the patina helps me imagine what these looked like during Roman times. Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 04/21/2012 04:25 am Nicely centred and quite a bit of silvering left, attractive bust too - Looks like Heraclea, HTDelta mintmark? Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 04/21/2012 12:13 pm Thanks everyone! Bobby, your right about the mintmark, but would his bust be a large or small head? Because that's the only thing that determines whether it is 18b (small head) or 20b (large head)(and yeah it looks like I'll end up re-attributing this one as well, I currently have it as 18b).

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 04/21/2012 1:28 pm It looks like the large head Valiant, 20b, minted around 297-298AD. Interestingly after this series was produced the mint closed for 6 years and production was shifted to Thessalonica (about 250 miles West). The mint did not re-open until the 2nd Tetrarchy in about 308. It would have been a shame if this celator found himself out of work as he was obviously at the top of his game.
