tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 3:50 pm As silly as it sounds I am having trouble nailing down the mintmark/ RIC number for another coin of Constantine the great. The reverse has a temple with Roma seated within, with the legend " ROMAE AETER " The mintmark appears to be " PL branch " I have only found 1 example so far with this legend on the reverse and it had no literature with it sadly. The mintmark I have yet to find anywhere. Its a little rough. Obverse - FLVALCONSTANTINUSNOBC Reverse - ROMAE AETER Mintmark - PL Branch Weight - 4.35g Size - 23mm As always your help is greatly appreciated TIA Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 4:17 pm As you were, Constantine it is, please excuse the senior moment. I assume you have seen the example on acsearch. It quotes RIC 99 but doesn't state the mint. PL I would think would be Lyons or London. I don't have RIV VII. Report this Post to the Staff
tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 7:26 pm Hi Pish, thx for the reply I found an example on a site called - Constantinethegreatcoins, it lists all of the reverse legends with pics for most. I have checked through London, Lyon, Rome and pretty much everywhere else without joy, several examples of the temple with Roma seated but none with this legend or mintmark. Just checked acsearch, that's interesting how they fail to give a mint name. It has the same mintmark as the 1 on the site I used, probably London. The search goes on Report this Post to the Staff

lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 08/19/2015 3:51 pm This is RIC VI #99 for London, from the summer of 307, but is a bit lighter than normal. The Mintmark is PLN, but the N on your example is clipped. All the other details correspond to Sutherland's description. The reverse is illustrated in the catalog for the mate to this, #100 for Maximian. Report this Post to the Staff
