<p>[QUOTE="Jwt708, post: 2714163, member: 32619"]I read a pretty compelling argument that Crispus and another member of Constantine's court were accused of...and I can't remember but it was some sort of treachery. Crispus paid with his life but the other guy wasn't in town at the time. Well, come to find out that his wife was behind the rumors and for that he had her killed. I'm going to have to dig through my notes and see if I can come up with the reference. In any case, here are some coins featuring Crispus:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-157-crispus-military-garb.4980/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Crispus Caesar, AD 317-326</p><p>Ӕ Follis, 18m, 3.1g, 6h; London mint, AD 318</p><p>Obv.: FL IVL CRISPVS NOB CAES, Laureate draped cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev.: PRINCIPIA I-VVENTVTIS; Crispus standing right in military dress, holding spear and shield, crescent in left field </p><p>In Ex.: PLN</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-41-crispus-vota.5551/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Crispus, AD 317 - 326</p><p>AE, follis, 3.01g, 19mm; 6h; Aquileia mint</p><p>Obv.: CRISPVS NOB CAES; laureate, cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev.: CAESARVM NOSTRORVM, VOT / (dot) / V in laurel wreath</p><p>In Ex.: (dot) A[Q]S (dot)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
