<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2704400, member: 75937&quot;]I have this rather pedestrian Centenionalis of Constantine I with the VOT XX reverse from the Aquileia mint, but it has no officina mark on it. Every listing I can find for the coin (RIC and Sear) says the mintmark should read AQP, whereas on this coin, which is struck and preserved clearly enough, the celator left room to put an officina mark in, but there isn&#039;t one. </p><p><br /></p><p>Am I misattributing this? Is this a variant that is known but not to the author of RIC vii? Has this minor variation been described somewhere in the numismatic literature?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]609211[/ATTACH] </p><p>Constantine I, AD 307-337</p><p>Roman Æ Centenionalis; 2.59 g, 18.4 mm</p><p>Aquileia, AD 321</p><p>Obv: CONSTAN-TINVS AVG, </p><p>Rev: D N CONSTANTINI MAX AVG, laurel wreath around VOT XX; ·AQ · below.</p><p>Refs: RIC vii, p. 404, no. 85; RCV 16216; Cohen 123.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a close-up of the mint mark.
