pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/09/2013 09:16 am I have a pot full of Constantine and his family, I get a headache just thinking about them. Are there any tips or tricks to identify which are which or is it a case of trying to match from the portraits? Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 08/09/2013 1:39 pm They all have differing legends and styles. FL IVL and NOB C only come up after Constantine II, qand the busts for Constantius and Constantine and very different to Constantius II and Constantine II. Often times, you can ID them by bust, but if you put the legend into google with the parts you'll get a good answer out. Eventually, you'll just know that F* VL STANNVS NOB * is Constantine II. (by the way, the FL IVL and stuff is really variable, you might not find it on Constantine II) Constantius I: CONSTANTIVS Constantine I: CONSTANTINVS Constantine II: (FL IVL) CONSTANTINVS (NOB C) (thinner bust) Constantius II: (FL IVL) CONSTANTIVS (NOB C) (thinner bust) Constantius Gallus: CONSTANTIVS (luscious locks of hair, very distinctive). Constantine III: You'll probably never see one and I certainly never have Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 08/09/2013 1:42 pm With Constantine II, coins of him as Augustus can be tricky as he can get mixed with his dad. His coins will usually not include the MAX that goes before AVG that coins of his dad has, so with II it would just be CONSTANTINVS AVG. Report this Post to the Staff
