Just opened up the mailer these came in I have not researched them at all yet but here they are. Constantius I
Very nice, @bcuda . Cool patina and nice details. I only have one, and he is dead in this one: Roman Empire Constantius I Chlorus 293-306 CE Bronze Quinarius (16 mm ; 1.41 gm) Thesalonika mint 317-318 AD Obv: DIVO CONSTANTIO PIO PRINCIPI ; Laureate, bearded, and veiled head, right Rev: REQVIES OPTIMORVM MERITORVM ; Constantius seated left on curule chair raising right hand and holding scepter.

I think I have one of those CONCORDIA MILITVM ones ... Nope ... Similar design, but it's a pre-reform radiate IOVI ET HERCVLI CONS CAES: Constantius I, as Caesar, AD 293-305. Roman billion antoninianus, 3.06 g, 22.4 mm, 1 h. Antioch, AD 293-294. Obv: FL VAL CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust, right. Rev: IOVI ET HERCVLI CONS CAES, Jupiter standing right, holding globe and scepter, facing Hercules standing left, holding Victory, club and lion's skin; S//XXI•. Refs: RIC V, ii, p. 302, 673; RCV 13985.
bcuda, Those are 2 nice looking post reform radiates . The sandy patinas are identical. I wonder if they came from the same hoard ? I like the portrait on the Cyzicus example .
