<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 695162, member: 14873&quot;]I have installed a <a href="http://jp29.org/rbconst.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://jp29.org/rbconst.htm" rel="nofollow">revised web page</a> that is devoted to the various issues of folles produced in Gaul under the auspices of Constantius, Tetrarchic Caesar of the West, at an Unknown Continental Mint (possibly Boulogne) in preparation for his invasion of Britain in 296 and subsequently at the re-opened London Mint (and possibly other British Mints) during his lifetime.</p><p><br /></p><p>This page includes an enlarged photographic image&nbsp; of the reverse of my bronze copy of the famous ten aurei multiple, (RIC VOLUME VI, TREVERI, No. 34) .......... </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://jp29.org/const01.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>.......... the original of which presently resides in the museum at Arras, commemorating the restoration of Britain to the Roman Empire by Constantius in 296. It depicts the personification of Londinium (LON) kneeling and supplicating to Constantius (on horseback) outside the City Fortification while a galley with Roman soldiers waits on the river Thames. The inscription REDDITOR LVCIS AETERNAE proclaims Constantius as the restorer of the eternal light (of Rome). The Treveri (Trier) mint mark (PTR) is in the exergue. This coin is depicted (obverse and reverse) with full attribution in the appropriate chronological position later on the page. </p><p><br /></p><p>James[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
