<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2845984, member: 19463&quot;]As I understood the matter the only reason that pagan Magnentius issued the type was to curry favor with the radical element of Roman Christians who would prefer a friendly pagan to a heretic Arian like Constantius II.&nbsp; While Constantius II and Constantine I were not hardcore on theological details, their attempts get all Christians to work out their differences and not kill each other over such things.&nbsp; Had the mint understood the matter, it would have been a simple matter to use the type minus the letters that supported the Catholic view.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
