<p>[QUOTE="Gao, post: 1249319, member: 19409"]The emperors depicted on the first coin is Constantius II, the next two are Contantine the Great, with the second of those being from the London mint. The bottom left is probably the Gallic emperor Tetricus I, though the name isn't on the flan. Given the small size, this may be what's referred to as a "barbarous radiate." These coins were minted in the northwestern parts of the empire at the end of the third century due to a coin shortage. They were the products of local unofficial mints. The second from the right depicts Claudius Gothicus, and the reverse indicates that it was issued postumously. That one might be barbarous as well. If you want full identifications, you might want to poke around <a href="http://wildwinds.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://wildwinds.com" rel="nofollow">Wildwinds</a> or the appropriate RIC spreadsheets <a href="http://www.catbikes.ch/coinstuff/coins-ric.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.catbikes.ch/coinstuff/coins-ric.htm" rel="nofollow">here</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
