[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 4658163, member: 82549"]That's a real beauty, Victor. Congratulations. I would love to acquire one of these someday. Or perhaps it was his nephew, Licinius II, whom Constantine had murdered at age 9 because--let's face it--9-year-olds present a profound risk to one's sovereignty. I have the more common eyes-to-heaven type: [IMG]http://feltemp.com/Images/93.jpg[/IMG] Constantinople mint, A.D. 328 RIC 32 Obv: CONSTANTI-NVS MAX AVG Rev: CONSTANTINI-ANA DAFNE - Victory on cippus, holding palms; trophy in front; captive at feet CONS in exergue; B in left field 20 mm, 3.1 g. BTW, how many of you have seen this version of the coin with the obverse portrait deliberately rotated CCW about 25 or so degrees listed as "eyes to heaven"?
