<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 4739599, member: 10613&quot;]I can only guess that Bruun listed an example in RIC VII because he knew that some had been struck in that period. There are other examples of this--same period from Arles there is an issue with an X that continues after the death of Constantine into RIC VIII. I am only guessing that he used size to make his decision; but in reality there is no way to tell if these coins were struck during Constantine&#039;s life or after his death, as there was not a coin reform in that period (after 336), so all the coins were struck to the same standard, though invariably some will be larger and some smaller.</p><p><br /></p><p>In RIC VII there is a footnote to this issue-</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;N.B. The latter part of this issue was struck after 9 Sept. 337 when the sons of Constantine had assumed the title of Augustus...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>so Bruun knew that this issue continued into RIC VIII territory[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
