DIVUS ROMULUS (Died 309).

Great coins Cucumbor, I especially like your Roma temple.

Thanks, and yours is another nice coin of his Mausoleum.

 

Thanks, Alegandron I notice with the Rome mint shrine type they tended to render Romulus's head smaller and more childlike than Ostia.

 

Better late than never, I guess. Here is a nearly fully silvered quarter follis of Romulus. The coin is about half way between an AE3 and 4 (AE3/4) at 15x17mm and 1.33g. I was reluctant to show it earlier due to trouble getting an acceptable image. The surfaces tend to scatter the light hitting them. I'll keep working on it, but I thought I should show you that such a thing exists.

Quarter-Follis. Rome mint, officina Q(uarta).
RIC VI Rome 239
Obv: DIVO ROMVLO NVBIS CONS
Bare head right.
Rev: AETERNAE MEMORIAE / R Q
Domed hexastyle temple; on roof, eagle standing right, head left.

The coin is a scaled down version of what I showed earlier from Ostia.

 

Neat little coin, I think the pic you took makes the coin look good highlighting legends/devices giving great eye appeal.

 

The reverse of these coins is rather a mausoleum.
I described it on my blog.
Unfortunately, it is only in Polish.
