chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4971 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 6:40 pm here's another I just finished and can't figure out. seller's pic before ....i didn't take one, thought it was going to be a total cull. after... the obverse is ends in "snobcases" and begins with "f", so could be crispus, constantius ii, constans, I think it is FLCONSTANSNOBCAES for contstans,but not sure. the reverse is a SECVRITAS REIPVB with secruitas leaning on a pilar. and what is that funky mint mark? R "something?" T? anyway, any help would be appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 6:49 pm Probably R Dot in crescent T from Rome. There is a theory that this mark (if it is that) is associated with the births of Emperors children, certainly for Constantine but maybe for others too. Just thinking aloud but maybe Crispus Report this Post to the Staff

Its also not Dot Cres, believe it or not its a leaf! see a similar Constantius II example here (click through link to see diagram): http://www.forumancientcoins.com/no...om403_q.html RIC 7 Rome 404 (p346) - Rated R5 I think it was produced in 337AD Nice find Edited by bobbyhelmet 01/28/2013 7:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
