<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2229662, member: 74282&quot;]For the longest time I mostly avoided late Roman coins and thought they were less interesting than other eras, but the Aurelian antoninianus that I bought recently from Seth77 got me re-interested in these coins and I decided I wanted a more presentable Constantine than the junky one I found in an uncleaned lot over a year ago. I always thought the &quot;VOT within wreath&quot; type was my favorite of the common later bronzes as well, so I settled on the Constantine and ended up adding on the Constantine II because it was cheap and I really liked how it highlighted the differences in wreath styles emitted by the various late Roman mints.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]438114[/ATTACH] </p><p>Constantine I, AE follis(19mm, 3.1g), Ticinum, 322-325 AD.
