travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 12/23/2018 08:44 am Just finished attributing these two Pick Ups.

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 12/23/2018 2:02 pm Looking closely at the complex listings in RIC IX, I believe the Theodosius is RIC 57(e). On RIC 58, there is no prow beneath the foot of Constantinopolis. Officina A is unattested with branch and HN monogram. However, late Roman bronzes tend to be underrepresented in the collections surveyed for RIC. Edited by Kushanshah 12/23/2018 2:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
