<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 3089739, member: 84744&quot;]It turns out to be provable that your coin was minted after Constantine I&#039;s death.&nbsp; [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] talks about this very question (only with respect to the chi-rho coins, but the lesson might be extendable) on his page <a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Christian/ChristianTable2.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Christian/ChristianTable2.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp; To quote (boldface added): &quot;None of the Siscia coins are of Constantine I -- even the coins like this one with his portrait and legend are really of Constantine II who assumed the titles of Constantine. <b>This is easy to prove because there are no coins of Siscia with chi-rho minted for the Caesars</b> -- all chi-rho coins of this type for Constantius II (next) and Constans (second next) have obverse legend with AVG. This contrasts with Type 1.12 of Constantina (= Arles) which appears for Constantine as Augustus and all the Caesars and Delmatius.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So the giveaway is that it&#039;s Siscia. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my example of the earlier Esty Type 1.12 of Arles (in this case, Constantius II as Caesar):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]779403[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
