Thanks, it has taken me many years to track down and assemble these books. I still have alerts out for some issues that I have been searching for...
Most of my numismatic books are on the right shelf, with a few assorted on the left. I keep RIC over my computer in arms reach. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Here is a Constantine II coin which has a thick flan and at 5.8g is about double the normal weight of circa 3 grams for this issue. It looks like...
Lactantius writes about it, though it is almost certainly propaganda.
Martin, I am relieved that it finally arrived.
except, as Neal has pointed out, the obverse legend on his coin looks like JOIVANUS; which it does -- D N IOIVA-NVS P F AVG
It has a soft details and, especially on the obverse, what looks like evidence of casting. I would guess either an ancient fake or modern fake. Do...
I don't think so...my Clark side has been in Tennessee for generations. My first LRB's were purchased from Guy after I saw his ad in the Celator.

For the Siscian VLPP issue for Constantine I, there are actually not many busts. D2-helmeted, cuirassed (it seems an error in RIC, busts are...
It is probably my current favorite coin. Not in RIC for the L2 l. bust, it should be listed after Lyons 61. It is, however, in Bastien, with one...
Since it is from RIC VI, technically it is not an H6 bust though. It is a BB bust. This bust type is much easier to find than the RIC VII equivalent.
I only have one example now. H6 left is more common, but still tough to find. I do have an H2 bust, the difference being the helmet is not...
Pretty frequently...I just quickly looked through my data and I have around 50 obverse or reverse matches. I have several with multiple examples,...
I casually collect the unofficial VLPP copying Siscia and currently have about 500, here's a few-- kind of a horseman on shield [ATTACH]...
[ATTACH] I was pretty happy to recently acquire this coin of Constantine I. It is not listed in RIC and it is actually fairly rare. I had and...
