Below is a coin--not mine--of Constantine I, as Caesar, from Aquilea, A.D. 306-307. In my opinion, this wreath tie is a bit over the top. Strange how it goes through the border. My guess it that it aligned just right with a die break to create this illusion. Any thoughts or comments? Out of curiosity, I looked through my CtG collection and found a coin from Ticinum with a similar tie, but without the die break: Ticinum mint, A.D. 306 RIC 75 Obv: CONSTANTINVS NOB CAES Rev: VIRTVS AV-GG ET CAESS NN - Helmeted Mars, advancing right, with transverse spear and holding trophy over shoulder ST in exergue; [dot] in left field 27mm, 10.6 g. Interesting that I never noticed this before. Anyone else have anything unusual in the way of wreath ties to share?
