<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2499743, member: 31620&quot;]On pages 495-496 RIC VIII splits the hut coins for Constans at Cyzicus into two FH(a) (FEL TEMP REPA-RATIO) and FH(b) (FEL TEMP REP-ARATIO). These legend breaks don&#039;t always elicit a new RIC entry but in this case they do. With&nbsp; dot SMKX the Constans coins are RIC VIII Cyzicus 81 and 82 with RIC 81 known for Officina&nbsp; Delta, Epsilon and S alll being rated common and RIC 82 known for officina Delta and Epsilon both being rated as Scarce. I have acquired an example from officina S which is unlisted in RIC and I have been unable to locate another and thought it worthy of sharing here.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Constans AE2</b></p><p>Obv:- D N CONSTA-NS P F AVG, Laureate and rosette-diademed, draped, cuirassed bust left, globe in right hand</p><p>Rev:- FEL TEMP REP-ARATIO, Helmeted soldier, spear in left hand, advancing right, head left; with his right hand he leads a small bare-headed figure from a hut beneath a tree.
