    Have a Constantine II with the BEATA TRANQVILITTAS reverse , from the London mint. I cant seem to find anything on the two letters in the reverse fields one on each side of the altar, maybe I am reading them wrong. Can anyone help ?

    That is exactly why I can never collect ancients.

    Taking the time in determining proper identification and learning from that activity is why I only collect ancients. It really is worth the effort.

    Nice OP. I have a similar, more worn example...if I attributed this one correctly...my LRB skills are still "developing."
