<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 7637617, member: 56653&quot;]RIC gives it as 324-5 for Rome with the PROVIDENTIA legend. 324 is probably at the earliest as it follows a rather long period of backwatering (or even closure) for the mint of Rome soon after the quindecennalia of Constantine and its celebratory issues of 320-1 (I wrote a bit about this <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-couple-of-interesting-votive-coins-from-ticinum-and-rome.363423/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-couple-of-interesting-votive-coins-from-ticinum-and-rome.363423/">here</a>).</p><p><br /></p><p>I would figure that if the die-makers would&#039;ve tried to point to a barba prima celebration for Crispus, this would&#039;ve happened in 320-1 for the issues dedicated to Constantine&#039;s quindecennalia. If there are similar portraits on those issues, then it could be possible that the style was carried over to when the new types were introduced in 324(?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
