<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 3708656, member: 56653&quot;]The GLORIA NOVI SAECVLI type is not the only one with the obverse legend ending in AVG G AVG. The same obverse legend was used with the more mundane types GLORIA ROMANORVM and SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE at Lyon and according to RIC IX these coins should be very common (C2). </p><p><br /></p><p>But they are not. I have actually seen very few such coins -- all of them with GLORIA reverse, one on Mr. Esty&#039;s Late Roman Bronzes <a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ricix/type5i.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ricix/type5i.html" rel="nofollow">site</a> one sold by Roma in February 2019 <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=5705215" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=5705215" rel="nofollow">here</a> and another that comes from what I suspect is an old French collection:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]994076[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This type has a break in the legend, which might date it to 375 rather than 374, if we are to guide our considereations by the Augustus Gener Augusti interpretation of the legend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
