bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 09:00 am Its Claudius II - issued posthumously by Constantine. DIVO CLAVDIO OPTIMO IMP REQVIES OPTIMOT MERIT 315-320 (approx), Rome. Its from a small set of coins issued by Constantine, not super-rare but quite collectable. I think other coins exist for Maximian and Diocletian, maybe a few others too. I used to have a good link for these, will see if I can find it. Report this Post to the Staff
