Roman Coins Of The Second Tetrarchy And Later, 305-324

Couple of nice tetrarchs stopped by for tea yesterday
Nice couple of fella's
I think they might stay awhile .....

Billon Follis Trier
Divus Constantius
issued by Constantine (3rd Tetrarchy)
Obv. DIVO CONSTANTIO PIO
Veiled laureate and cuirassed bust of Constantius right
Rv. MEMORIAE FELIX
Lighted altar with garlands and eagles standing on either side
P TR in exergue
6.42 grams 26mm
Trier AD 307-9



Sellers pic was so poor I thought it might be silvered
It isn't but olive green is the next best thing

Billon Follis Nicomedia
Emperor Licinius
Obv. IMP C VAL LICIN LICINIVS P F AVG
Laureate bust of Licinius right
Rv. IOVI CONSERVATORI
Jupiter standing left holding Voctory on globe and scepter
Eagle at feet Officina mark A in field
S M N in exergue
3.96 grams 21-2mm
Nicomedia AD 313-7




Last but not least
Actually first tetrarchy ......
But who's counting !
Billon Follis Trier Diocletian
My very first lefty of Diocletian
I will simply leave it at that .....
12.05 26-30mm
(and a close challenger to my Constantine for heavyweight !)



Again the sellers pics were a bit blurred and I took a gamble on this one
Weak reverse is due a worn die
Very common but the obverse is crisp !
Nicely silvered too which really came through with a gentle washing with solvent
