Message:: [QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3192443, member: 19463"]Coins with the mintmark PCONST or SCONST are Arles rather than Constantinople.  For a short period the city was renamed after Constantine II but reverted to Arlatum after his death. <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=9R_CGC9wL9MC&pg=PA278&lpg=PA278&dq=arles+renamed+after+constantine&source=bl&ots=DHMdKPMV_R&sig=ETgptiYC6b04_olUMH7pcCnvBnw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi5jqv_1MPdAhVKpFkKHfFiAHMQ6AEwDHoECAsQAQ#v=onepage&q=arles%20renamed%20after%20constantine&f=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://books.google.com/books?id=9R_CGC9wL9MC&pg=PA278&lpg=PA278&dq=arles+renamed+after+constantine&source=bl&ots=DHMdKPMV_R&sig=ETgptiYC6b04_olUMH7pcCnvBnw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi5jqv_1MPdAhVKpFkKHfFiAHMQ6AEwDHoECAsQAQ#v=onepage&q=arles%20renamed%20after%20constantine&f=false" rel="nofollow">https://books.google.com/books?id=9R_CGC9wL9MC&pg=PA278&lpg=PA278&dq=arles+renamed+after+constantine&source=bl&ots=DHMdKPMV_R&sig=ETgptiYC6b04_olUMH7pcCnvBnw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi5jqv_1MPdAhVKpFkKHfFiAHMQ6AEwDHoECAsQAQ#v=onepage&q=arles renamed after constantine&f=false</a>The first two differ in size and date with the two standards coins being earlier and larger. They are usually better made than the later and lighter one standards coins. I do not have a nice Constantinople example but below is the one I do have. [ATTACH=full]824486[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
