<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1841287, member: 19463&quot;]I Have never seen a coin with this legend but the legend ending BEA C (blessed Caesar - unusual in the use to genitive case dedicating the coin to the young Caesar) is common.&nbsp; BEAC comes both in one and two standards versions.&nbsp; I have seen more than one in the last month on eBay but they are rarely IDed as special and often are assigned to Constantius II by those who fail to read all the letters.&nbsp; I always said that every Latin teacher needs to own this one since there are no other 4th declension genitives that I recall seeing except for the use on the reverses of gold coins which I (and most Latin teachers?) can&#039;t afford.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have to question if NOB C exists or if it was a misreading of low grade BEAC coins by people expecting to see that common title.&nbsp; Have you seen one? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]305837[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]305838[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]305839[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Notice that the left portrait seems to be more common in this period with the most junior member but the genitive legend was used with the right bust.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
