I noticed that this bronze coin of Constantine the Great has a the head of a bull in the standard separating 2 soldiers on reverse. It was struck in Antioch and weighs only 1.4 g. The exergue reads SMAN Gamma. I remember once reading that the bull head hints to the military legion which accompanied the Emperor. Any idea ? The 3 photos here below were taken at night with a Flash.
Amazing I just went to acsearch and discovered that there is an example with a 'horned bull-head' on the banners???? (I never realized that LOL) https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=constantine bull head standard&category=1-2&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&images=1¤cy=usd&order=0&company=
I saw your link before it was changed @Victor_Clark and nothing there liked like a bulls head. Just like Mikey's photo, I don't see anything that looks like a bulls head.
Thanks for your useful comments. @C71 I started to type this reply before I was notified that I have an alert from yourself. Well..The coin is at hand now. Fortunately its condition is superb. The head of the "bull" is not circular.. It is somewhat long. And there are really horns. Anyway.. Of course I shall take many close pictures tomorrow under clear sunlight directly, and then I shall choose the best photos and post them on this same thread. The coin was struck in Antioch and not in Arles.
I think you are right. No bulls or cows there, at all. Here's a close digital shot. Hope it could help..
