Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 09/19/2017 12:52 pm Nice one! I'm not used to seeing the late Tetrarchy style portrait on Constantine - usually just Licinius. Super lettering and details too! I've got a ton of Constantine coins, but haven't gotten around to individually buying my "Wow!" Constantine yet. My favorites: Unpublished mule from Arles, 3rd officina, PROVIDENTIAE CAESS Gloria Exercitvs, soldiers with 2 standards from Trier, 1st officina: Unusual standard type for the mint; soldiers usually hold thin standards that look like spears. This is also my current best portrait of Constantine. Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 09/21/2017 5:40 pm Constantine I Early Orthodox period ....... Sometime after Saturday morning 'schul' Days before the Bar Mitzvah ! Antioch 3.41 grams 20mm I don't usually keep many Constantine AE's when I acquire them but the combination of the "payot" with a draped and cuirassed bust is just too good to let go of ...... It reminds me too of an interesting though seldom noticed fact "The history of the church of Jerusalem affords a lively proof of the necessity of those precautions, and of the deep impression which the Jewish religion had made on the minds of its sectaries. The first fifteen bishops of Jerusalem were all circumcised Jews; and the congregation over which they presided united the law of Moses with the doctrine of Christ." Edward Gibbon The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Chapter XV Report this Post to the Staff
