<p>[QUOTE="Kiaora, post: 4651740, member: 76733"]The authors of The London Mint of Constantius and Constantine also combined the RIC numbers 14a and 20 for Constantius into a single reference, ie treat the 'observable differences in portrait size as variations on a single type', and this makes sense to me - we are attempting to assign some sort of temporal significance that potentially doesn't exist. By way of demonstration of the variation, here is an RIC 14a of mine with a clearly different neck / head to your number 20 [USER=14873]@jamesicus[/USER]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1148777[/ATTACH]</p><p>but if we then compare that to a 14 b of Galerius below, it has a clearly different neck / head style. And to add to the challenge, the LMCC authors, in contrast to combining RIC 14a and 20 into their 2.01.010, split 14b into two references, 1.03.010 and 2.01.014 [ATTACH=full]1148780[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
