<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 7766350, member: 56653&quot;]Very interesting coin, but without the legend saying COS VI I would have no problem dating it to 321. This issue starts with VOT XX for Constantine I and VOT V for Crispus and Constantine II and ends perhaps around early 322 with VOT XX for Constantine I and VOT X for Constantine II and Crispus. The consular bust is very interesting and an irregularity for Rome at this time, but there are precedents at Trier for instance, where consular bust types where used outside consular years for the BEATA TRANQVILLITAS type. </p><p><br /></p><p>The alternative you favor on the other hand would disregard the whole sequence of types minted by Rome from ca. 319 to 322, which fits so well with the historical context and the numismatic data.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
