redwine Valued Member France 130 Posts	Posted 08/12/2011 05:20 am Haven't got very far with this. I hope you can help.... This is what I think I know Roman 337 - 350 Constans SMAN D: 13.5mm at widest point Antioch - I know where that is as it's somewhere I always try and capture ASAP in Total War.

Sap Moderator Australia 16845 Posts	Posted 08/12/2011 10:44 am Sounds OK to me. VOT XV MVLT XX is an unusual votive year type, since most of the VOT types are for decennials. It certainly limits the possible options, and for most of the later options (such as emperor Gratian) the mintmark for Antioch is ANT, not SMAN. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 08/13/2011 2:47 pm I'm not convinced it is RIC VIII 116? - thats certainly the closest to it in RIC but not sure its a 100% match. As you can see from the above it should have an 'A' before Θ. I also think your coin has a '.' in the middle of MVLT, possibly a '.' over a horizontal line? From reading RIC I can tell you that Constans coins from Antioch were almost all of officinae 'S' 'Z' 'H' 'Θ' 'I', the earlier workshops being used for Constantius. I have also found non-specific references to a 'SMAN' special issue coin from 346-347 but cant seem to find a RIC reference for it. Maybe this is it? Report this Post to the Staff
redwine Valued Member France 130 Posts	Posted 08/13/2011 3:18 pm You've gone way beyond my understanding! Many thanks. I'd appreciate anything further you'd like to share. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/13/2011 3:20 pm Helvetica shows a listing of this coin along with SMANA as RIC VIII 116. Eric II also has the same listing as RIC 50 VIII (must be a newer version of RIC)& Late Roman Bronze Coinage list both coins as #1384. Report this Post to the Staff
