<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1761126, member: 19463&quot;]...but not Constantinian. These two AE4&#039;s came together, like father and son. One is Magnus Maximus from Aquileia while the other is (his son) Flavius Victor from Arles (Constantia). Neither is perfect but both are better than average at least when it comes to the obverses. Neither is clear when it comes to the officina letter and that usually would keep me from buying a coin. These were cheap and attractive even though my ID&#039;s are a bit of a guess. I&#039;m calling the Magnus SMAQP with the P likely but not the clearest it could be. The Victor is certainly CON but the leading letter strikes me as most likely an S. Both reverses read SPES ROMANORVM. These last of the campgate types are more crude and much smaller than the more common coins of sixty years earlier.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyone who believes they see a different officina for either, please present your case.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Magnus Maximus RIC55 page 105</p><p>[ATTACH=full]278693[/ATTACH]</p><p>Flavius Victor RIC29b page 69</p><p>[ATTACH=full]278695[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
