Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 04/24/2017 11:29 pm Bought in the 5/$1 junk box. Can't find the match for this reverse in Tesorillo. The wreath (or whatever it is) appears to be hanging from the dot between the standards. Is it Arles? I'm reading CONSTANTI NUSMAXAUG on the obverse. Does it work? Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3442 Posts	Posted 04/25/2017 01:09 am You reading is close CONSTANTI-NVS MAX AVG no "U" in latin script ! Reverse - Two soldiers on either side of two standards (possibly a wreath in the center field) Legend reads GLORIA EXERCITVS As far as the mint I cant really see anything !

tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 04/25/2017 04:43 am Yes Arkie it is most likely an Arles issue. Either RIC VII 370 variation or RIC VII 375, hard to be exact or more precise without exposing the MM. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3442 Posts	Posted 04/25/2017 09:07 am If I hold the image far away the 'blobs' in exergue have the general shape of T R. Trier had an enormous output under Constantine. Report this Post to the Staff
tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 04/25/2017 09:25 am That would make it RIC VII 549. I have to admit FR that I cant make anything of the MM, if you can make out the T & R then your call is right Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3442 Posts	Posted 04/25/2017 11:07 am Well either way not very much to look at. But it looks as if a long oil soak wouldn't hurt none either ! Possibly bring out some more details. At the price you paid though I would have said ........ "I'll take all you got !" You might try rubbing gently with a dab of oil and taking another pic. It can darken the fields a bit and bring some details to the fore. Report this Post to the Staff
