<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2029373, member: 42773&quot;]I scored another less-common LRB cheapie today - no point in making another thread, so I&#039;ll put it here. This one is a SPES REIPVBLICE type of Constantius II. The seller&#039;s pic isn&#039;t great, but he says it&#039;s a very dark coin and difficult to photograph. But from what I can see, it has acceptable surfaces, decent detail, and full legends.</p><p><br /></p><p>These aren&#039;t rare by any means, but they aren&#039;t common either, and most of the ones I&#039;ve seen are in decrepit condition. I&#039;m hoping this bad-pic gamble pays off. I&#039;ll post my own image as soon as it arrives.</p><p><br /></p><p>For whatever reason, Spes is mentioned frequently on 3rd-century legends, but evidently becomes quite unfashionable in the 4th. Does anyone know why? Does anyone have one of these?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]369084[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
