I have, (with help), narrowed the attribution of this coin down to either CONSTANTIUS II RIC VIII Siscia 342 or CONSTANTIUS II RIC VIII Siscia 344. Can anyone tell me , please, which one it is (and why?).
The difference between the two is the mintmark. 342 is •ASIS palm branch and 344 is •ASIS• On yours, I can see the first •, but can't make out the rest.
I agree. Therein lies my problem. I was (sort of) hoping that there might be another way of defining which it is.
yeah TC, this one isn't going to pan out for a full attribution, but you know it's a siscia mint constantius ii fallen horseman...so I wouldn't loose any sleep about not knowing the details beyond that.
Agreed, Chris, but I don't like writing on the card 342 or 344. Might be one to 'sell', (when I get around to selling any). Thanks.
Sell it to someone who does not worship RIC. Die duplicates in this period are not easy to find. They made a lot of coins and used many dies.
