    These two coins of Emperor Constantine II have the officina Epsilon( E) in exergue. The coin to the left has a dot after Epsilon, and also a dot in each square up of the 2 standards between the 2 soldiers. The coin to the right has none of these dots. Please assist to confirm that both of these coins are not listed, so that I can send scans to Wildwinds. I appreciate your cooperation. Remember that there are 2 standards and not only one between the 2 soldiers. Charles C2Unlist O.jpg C2Unlist R.jpg

    Chris is correct. RIC VII Antioch 87, p. 693. What you think is a dot is an anomaly on the flan, or perhaps a break in the patina. The dots you find in the mintmarks are larger.

    Thanks.. RIC VII Antioch 87 shows the coins with officinae S and Theta only, I mean there is no Epsilon for this series of 2 standards between the 2 soldiers.

    Just because wildwinds does not show it does not mean it doesn't exist. Once again, take a look at Helvetica's ID Help page: http://www.catbikes.ch/coinstuff/coins-ric.htm. Download the "Soldiers and Standards". Your coin shows as RIC VII Antioch 87.

    I'm satisfied and convinced.
