<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2662686, member: 31620&quot;]I have recently acquired the following coin. It poses me with a bit of a quandary when trying to place it in the issues of Aquileia.</p><p><br /></p><p>AE2</p><p>Obv:- D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, Pearl diademed, draped &amp; cuirassed bust left, holding globe in right hand, N in right field</p><p>Rev:– FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Emperor bare headed &amp; in military dress standing, holding standard with chi-rho on banner in his right hand, resting left hand on shield, two bound captives in Phrygian helmets standing, facing each other before him</p><p>Minted in Aquileia (//AQP Dot)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]591040[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at RIC there are three issues for this type at Aquileia.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first has no letters on either side. The captives are described as standing and would have AQP:dot: in exe. - RIC VIII Aquileia 107</p><p><br /></p><p>The next two both have N behind the bust and an N in the left field on the reverse with the captives described as kneeling.</p><p><br /></p><p>with AQP in exe this would be RIC VIII Aquileia 119</p><p>and with AQP* in exe this would be RIC VIII Aquileia 120</p><p><br /></p><p>My example seems to be a mule from the later issues with letter behind the bust and the earlier issue with the captives standing but with no letter on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have I missed something?</p><p><br /></p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
