Very nice, web site amazing. Constantius was my first coin to. I show some of mine as soon I get time to photo.

 

Wow, Z, those are awesome coins!! I guess I must have seen them all before, but putting them together like that knocked my socks off.

 

"Notta Fan" of what, his coins? I thought the three you posted were pretty cool. Or do you mean Constantine as a person? Yeah, he was pretty nasty. The more I learned about him as I collected his coins, the less I admired him.

The tricky part is coming up with any other emperors who were much better. I'm sure there were a few, but not many. Generally, you didn't become emperor by being nice.

 

Both.

 

Careful! Constantius and Constantine are not the same. Constantine is English for ConstantiNus. Constantine was the son of Constantius I and the father of Constantius II (not to mention another son Constantine II). Every letter counts.

 

yeah there was Constantine I, Constantine II, Constantine III and Constantius I, Constantius II, Constantius III and Constantius Gallus and you might as well throw in Constans

 

A few more bronze coins of Constantine I:

 

As Caesar !




As Augustus :















Q

 

Thanks, Sev. Had pretty much the same reaction when I saw your ten. The Genius folles are outstanding, and I love the anepigrahic and bust of Sol reverses. Check out @Cucumbor strutting his stuff up there though! Q, those are marvellous!
