    Constans. AE3. 337-350 AD, Aquileia mint, 2.6g, 16mm

    OBV: DN CONSTA-NS PF AVG, Pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right.

    REV: FEL TEMP-REPARATIO, Emperor in military dress standing on galley left, holding phoenix on globe and labarum, Victory sitting at the stern, steering the ship. Mintmark AQP.

    REF: RIC VIII Aquileia 109A

    This one is in rather bad shape but still identifiable. I have a better example that I may reshoot later.

    Once again, a very nice reverse. One can even see the oars in the water. Too bad the legends are partially off flan.

    I really like the reverse, not only the galley but the entire design, including the standing emperor and Victory manning the rudder. Nicely done!
