<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7201321, member: 86498&quot;]The date 318 AD in my previous post came from RIC. I have not read anything about redating this series but it is not impossible that the date given in RIC is incorrect. Bruun thought that these coins were folles and therefore placed them at the end of the series featuring Sol. Carson does sort of indicate that these coins were not folles but he goes no further keeping the dating as suggested by Bruun.&nbsp; (I know that follis is a term not too popular anymore) There is a similar billon coinage for Diai which would have to end in 313 AD. I do not know what changed the dating of this coinage from 318AD to 310 -313 AD which is the dating in CNG. However upon reflection I would think that date is more likely. However if Argenteii either silver or billon are too murky there are always a siliqua</p><p>Silique of Constantine I Antioch 336-337 AD Obv Head&nbsp; right wearing rosette diadem.

In this image the military panoply has been replaced by a rather intricate diadem made up with jewels and pearls. His long nose is still in evidence though the great staring eye which seems to be gazing straight at you is new.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
