[QUOTE="Heliodromus, post: 7887568, member: 120820"]Yes, it certainly exists as a type - without the Chi-Rho - for Decentius with the NOB CAES legend (as well as with FORT CAES), but I've only seen it as a heavy miliarense, which seems to be what Cohen is listing too. Here's one from Triton XIX, 24mm 5.24g. [ATTACH=full]1360777[/ATTACH] The Becker piece at 30mm purports to be some sort of medallion, and interestingly Magentius did issue at least one medallion, RIC VIII Trier 255, where the bust style seems closer to the Becker one than on this miliarense. RIC 255 from BM, 12.94g (four siliqua ?) [ATTACH=full]1360778[/ATTACH] But the question remains whether there is a real PRINCIPI medallion of this size for Decentius that Becker was copying, and in particular one with the Chi-Rho ?[/QUOTE]
