<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 7764554, member: 56653&quot;]The types around the quindecennalia of Constantine show a very neat sequence of types tied to the actual event, dating to before during and after with the announcement of the future event (in 319, or even 318-319), the year of the event and the types employed for the event (in this case the X ET XV F and after the event with the new vows XV FEL XX summer to autumn 320) and the new dynastic types with the vota for the Caesars that actually end the sequence in 321.</p><p><br /></p><p>Later on there are no clear sequences that show us the difference between the suscepta and the soluta -- mostly after 340 and definitely by 360, but for this period the many types used at a rather high frequency help us better determine the chronology.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS - Constantine was COS IIII in 315 and the decennalia was celebrated in issues with a very diverse range of bust types in his domains in the west. Some issues also stated the consulship, while later on other issues marked consulships in the legends. Without the legend and without the sequence of types, we are left with just guess work that doesn&#039;t always give the best of results.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
