<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 3976853, member: 84905&quot;]I found this Constantine II follis on Ebay. The coin is common and nothing special. However, the ribbon on Constantine&#039;s head struck me as somewhat unusual. On all my other coins of Constantine and his family the ruler is wearing a laurel wreath or a kind of diadem (studded ribbon) (or of course a helmet). However, I could not find a second exemplar showing this plain ribbon on the caesar&#039;s head. Is this a standard headgear, which I just missed or failed to find other examples of, or is it a scarce variety?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1046757[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
