<p>[QUOTE=&quot;philologus_1, post: 3451131, member: 92212&quot;]I recently added the Crispus shown below to my collection. Two questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The portrait style makes me suspect that it *may* not be from an official mint. The face/profile seems a little amateurish for the period. Thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Could that be an intentional Cross on the helmet? The equilateral Cross (+) appears on other coinage of Constantine&#039;s family. Crispus&#039; coins are known to include Christian symbols, (one type has a very clear, undeniable Chi-Rho on a shield).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]917049[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]917053[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any input![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
