[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 1841281, member: 42773"]I’m not even sure how many mints made the Constans 2and2‘s. I know of seven, there may be more. You've got your harem. :) It's a sideline Steve, nothing terribly serious, but thanks! Anyway, here's Thessalonica. Also not the prettiest coin in the world, but notice the different breaks in the legend GLORIA EXERCITVS. RIC only records a delta officina - perhaps it was the one workshop dedicated to these issues. Constans, 337-350 AE3, 17mm, 1,96g; Thessalonica mint: 335-336 Obv.: CONSTANS NOB CAES; Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right. Rev.: GLORI-A EXER-CITVS; Two soldiers, helmeted, standing looking at one another, reversed spear in outer hands, inner hands on shield resting on ground; between them, two standards // SMTSΔ Reference: RIC VII Thessalonica 201 (p. 526) R2 [URL='http://postimage.org/'][IMG]http://s22.postimg.org/a4x5h9t9t/Constans700.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/QUOTE]
