[QUOTE="philologus_1, post: 7958930, member: 92212"]Love the type! Feel free to offer it to me at any time. :-) Below is one of my coins of Constantine which shows what is believed to be a Cross on the ground between the soldiers. It is obviously not a part of the coin's central device, but it is hard for me to imagine that it was intended to be anything other than a Cross. [ATTACH=full]1379691[/ATTACH] Constantine I, 307-337 AD, AE Follis Mint: Aquileia, (struck ca. 334-335 AD) Obv.: CONSTANTI_NVS MAX AVG; Rosette-diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right. Rev.: GLOR_IA EXERC_ITVS: 2 soldiers standing, holding reversed spear in outer hand, resting inner hand on shield set on ground, 2 standards with banners between; Cross in center on ground; AQP in exergue. Diam.: 17 mm. Weight: 2.65 gm. Attrib.: RIC VII 124 (R4)[/QUOTE]
