[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 4646223, member: 82549"]Constantine's time in Rome during his quidecennalia was a disaster. This is when the intrigue/deception with Fausta and Crispus occurred, which ended with Crispus' death by his father's order. My guess is that when Constantine finally left Rome he was done with the wretched place and no longer cared what coins they issued (as long as they had his name and image on them). The Rome and Ticinum issues that you discussed also included votives of Licinius I and Licinus II. By the way, there is also a contemporaneous votive issue from Arelate that is also quite scarce: [IMG]http://feltemp.com/Images/75.jpg[/IMG] Arelate mint, A.D. 320-321 RIC 216 Obv: IMP CONSTAN-TINVS P F AVG Rev: CONSTANTINI AVG,around VO/TIS/XX in 3 lines PA in exergue 19 mm, 2.6 g Like Rome and Ticinum, this issue also included votives of Crispus, Constantine II , Licinius I and Licinius II.[/QUOTE]
