<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 7813475, member: 97383"]Victor, Excellent article & coins illustrated. The most iconic victory issue of Constantine I has to be the <b>SPES PVBLIC</b> issue of AD 327 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.
