I talk about my Constantine Farnese Hercules in this thread: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-twelve-labours-of-hercules.295619/#post-2726533...
I think it's rare due to the Chi-Rho. This is an unusual situation in that "official" sources (RIC, I think) don't consider it especially rare,...
I think the satire is pretty broad—a bit of a send-up of anyone who would care about these sorts of things in the first place. A bit of an...
I guess we can all fool people into thinking that we frequent fancy museums....
interesting point. I was aware of this “ageless“ approach for Augustus, but hadn’t really thought about it for Constantine.
It is about the one-year anniversary of this thread, so I thought I would resurrect it for a pretty special FH. I avoid calling attention to...
Great first Constantine! Roman Collector has done a nice job helping with the legend. Here's a little more info: Obverse: IMP C CONSTANTINVS PF...

Quite the lobster claw on that one.
Yes. I'm surprised Alabama hasn't recruited him.
Thanks for these recent replies folks. That’s a lot of good information in one place, @cmezner. I am just a Lyon and Ostia issue away from mint...
Was the lady Kate Upton by any chance? Man, that Justin Verlander is one lucky guy.

Yeah, Victor has a nice one in his stock. Maybe if it's still around on my birthday I might make a run at it. A very cool--and rare--variation....
That's the plan. But I don't want the list to grow so unwieldy that it ceases to be a selection of true starting points. But @FitzNigel's fine...
