Contemporary with the output of Vetranio come some more common coins in the name of Constantius II. I stumbled across these two recently and just couldn't resist. I don't have a Vetranio tey to compliment them. The patient search for one I want (and can afford) continues. Constantius II - AE2 Obv:– D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, Pearl diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right (A behind bust, star before) Rev:– CONCORDIA MILITVM, emperor standing left, holding two standards inscribed Chi-Rho, star above his head Minted in Siscia (A | _ //Dot DSIS Dot). 350 AD. Reference:- RIC VIII Siscia 284 (S) Constantius II - AE2 Obv:– D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, Pearl diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right (A behind bust, star before) Rev:– HOC SIG-NO VICTOR ERIS, Constantius standing left, holding labarum, being crowned by Victory Minted in Siscia (A | _ //Dot ESIS Dot). 350 AD. Reference:- RIC VIII Siscia 286 (S)
I bought mine from a CT member here. I sold my previous one when I got this. They exist. Don't forget they come in Gallus, too. His were made after Vetranio retired but come in the same two types.
Gallus is the scarcest for CONCORDIA MILITVM as far as I have noticed. You get Vetranio readily available almost weekly, but Gallus maybe 3-4 times a year. On the other hand you might easily afford the Gallus while a mid range Vetranio will command close to the 75-100$ margin. This one was bought 5-6yrs ago for 9$ shipped.
