    Just wondering if anyone has seen or has one of these reverse types.
    I could not find it in wildwinds.
    Pretty sure it is Constantine I

    I have a similar one - it was one of the first LRBs I ever got and I recall being very impressed by the bound captives on the reverse. If I got the attribution right, it is Constantine II:
