Check out this Constantine I follis. EF+! Practically the same as another I have, but I couldn't pass it up in this condition. As an added bonus - the globe in Sol's hand is clearly divided into hemispheres! Constantine I AE follis – 20mm, 3.13g Trier, 317 AD laureate, cuirassed bust r. CONSTANTINVS PF AVG Sol standing facing, head left, nude but for chlamys across left shoulder, r. hand raised, globe divided into hemispheres in l. hand SOL INVIC-TO COMITI T | F, .ATR in ex. RIC VII Trier 135 Ex Beast Coins Note: Globe divided into hemispheres!
Very nice! that coin is in superb condition, and as close as you get to uncirculated. 'SOL INVICTO DOMITI' - Triumphant Sol. What does DOMITI mean?
I don't collect Constantines, but that looks to be an extremely nice example. I really like the depiction of Sol. What's up with the really long fingers? Is that normal on depictions of Sol? It's cool!
i dont think i have ever seen an ancient that clean. not that i get around ancients much lol nice find!
That is what makes the issues of Constantine and Licinius from this period so interesting and attractive to collectors (not just collectors of ancient coins) -- beautiful specimens are often available in EF grade at very reasonable prices. The following coin only cost me $55: IMP LICINIVS PF AVG GENIO -- POP ROM (S ..... F in field -- PLN in exergue) LICINIUS I Flavius Valerius Licinianus Licinius Co-Augustus with Constantine I: AD 313-324 RIC Volume VII (London) No. 3 James
