Alten &amp; Zschuke in <i>Die römische Münzserie Beata Tranquillitas in der Prägestätte Trier 321-323</i> (<b>RMBT</b>) list 42 different types of shields. The VLPP and VIRTVS EXERCIT series are next in collectibility. Below are a few from the three series that I believe have the greatest variety for collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a Crispus page with some examples here- <a href="http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/Rulers/Crispus/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/Rulers/Crispus/" rel="nofollow">http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/Rulers/Crispus/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>a few examples--</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]613769[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]613770[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>shield on left arm with horseman spearing enemy and another enemy on ground.</p><p>RIC VII Trier 372</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]613771[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Not in RIC; RMBT 190 </p><p>Shield engraved with a group of soldiers holding up shields and spears.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]613772[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
