<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 24668654, member: 44316&quot;]Constantius II is fun to collect and I recently started a thread on his coins at Numis Forums:</p><p><a href="https://www.numisforums.com/topic/4312-constantius-ii/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.numisforums.com/topic/4312-constantius-ii/" rel="nofollow">https://www.numisforums.com/topic/4312-constantius-ii/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Many different types were posted. You might wonder what types are out there, so I created a website with all the AE types of Constantius II. It has several pages:</p><p>1)&nbsp; a list of all the types, in tables (you could copy them as a checklist)</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ConstantiusII/ConstantiusII.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ConstantiusII/ConstantiusII.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ConstantiusII/ConstantiusII.html</a></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (Note: everything is linked to everything else, so I&#039;d begin with that page)</p><p>2)&nbsp; a page with one of each type illustrated</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ConstantiusII/Cs2images.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ConstantiusII/Cs2images.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ConstantiusII/Cs2images.html</a></p><p>3)&nbsp; supplemental pages with additional images for </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; a) FEL TEMP REPARATIO types</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; b)&nbsp; types issued by Vetranio</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; c)&nbsp; other types</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my favorite coins of Constantius II is next:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1573077[/ATTACH] </p><p>Issued by Vetranio, 350. 23 mm.</p><p>HOC SIGNO VICTOR ERIS</p><p>Emperor standing holding standard with chi-rho, to r. is Victory, crowning him with wreath and holding palm branch</p><p><br /></p><p>This type is desirable because it is the first type with a Christian legend. HOC SIGNO VICTOR ERIS means &quot;In this sign, you will be victorious&quot; which God told Constantine in his famous vision before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, Oct. 28, 312.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Check out the type-set pages: <a href="https://www.numisforums.com/topic/4607-constantius-ii-type-set-website/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.numisforums.com/topic/4607-constantius-ii-type-set-website/" rel="nofollow"></a></p><p><a href="https://www.numisforums.com/topic/4607-constantius-ii-type-set-website/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.numisforums.com/topic/4607-constantius-ii-type-set-website/" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ConstantiusII/ConstantiusII.html</a></p><p>and </p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ConstantiusII/Cs2images.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ConstantiusII/Cs2images.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ConstantiusII/Cs2images.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
