Empty_Pockets Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 04/11/2026 01:20 am I can't read the obverse but the reverse is pretty clear, so I'm able to determine the ruler based on the reverse design. But I could be wrong. Anepigraph, victory standing left, foot on prow, holding sceptre and shield. I don't know what an anepigraph is, but the figure looks like a soldier with two wings. So, can anyone figure this one out... Thank you Joanne Report this Post to the Staff

Victor Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 04/11/2026 09:00 am anepigraphic means that there is no legend your coin is from Constantinople A.D. 333-335 Obv. CONSTAN-TINOPOLI; laureate, helmeted bust of Constantinopolis, wearing imperial mantle, holding scepter. Rev. Victory stg. on prow, holding long scepter in r. hand, and resting l. hand on shield. in ex. dot CONSZ dot RIC VII Constantinople 86 The mints of Heraclea, Constantinople, Nicomedia and Cyzicus which surrounded the Propontis (the Sea of Marmara) dropped the S from the obverse legend. This is a regional variation and reflects the fall of the terminal -s in the spoken language. The victory on a prow type alludes to the naval victory of Crispus and his subsequent capture of Byzantium (soon to be re-named Constantinople). Report this Post to the Staff
