wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 11/02/2008 2:06 pm Tried as I might I still could not figure this one out. I thought this one I could do, but failed I did. I went to Wildwinds and searched for 'IMP Condia '. I thought it might be constantius_(I, II, or II) could not find any matches. Then tried Constanstine - no luck. Where o' where did I go astray? And don't say 'When attempting to identify ancients' Camera shifted color - Coin appears to be a bronze and about 30mm in diameter. Report this Post to the Staff
