[QUOTE="seth77, post: 2214151, member: 56653"]The BEATA TRANQVILLITAS is perhaps the most ripe type with rare bust representations of the whole roman world. This one is courtesy of Mr. Victor Clark: [SIZE=5][B]CONSTANTINE II AE3 19mm 2.77g Follis/Nummus [/B][/SIZE] AV: CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C, half-length bust r. laureate, draped and cuirassed with spear pointing forward, globe in left hand REV: BEATA TRAN *** QVILLITAS; globe set on altar inscribed VO/TIS/XX EXE: ·STR crescent, Trier mint. REF: RIC VII Trier - [B]unlisted for G10 bust type and obv. legend 7a (p. 199-200).[/B] This type is recorded by Alten & Zschucke (RMBT) [B]but only for officina P[/B] (p. 74, no. 148). [B]Possibly unique from officina S.[/B] In RIC VII it should be [B]after Trier 408. 323AD.
