[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3215969, member: 96635"]I opened a thread before that I was interested in having some Constantine I coins, preferably minted in Greece/Minor Asia. Now I have waited and looked through many coins and I decided to get this one! I really like the portrait, the hairs are so detailed! I also like the reverse, everything on there is nice and visible. See it for yourself: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/8ZvYzBL.jpg[/IMG] Constantine I (307-337 A.D.) Bronze follis (3,91g; 22,5mm). Thessalonica mint (year of mint?)

Jupiter standing facing, head left, with sceptre and holding Victoria set on globe; to feet left, eagle standing left with wreath in beak. [B]Reference:[/B] ? If you have any information about this coin type (for example year of mint and reference etc) then please share it, at the moment my Roman coin knowledge is at 1%. Also, what do those Latin words mean? For Greek coins it is easy reading as I am Greek myself. Oh and share your Constantine coins![/QUOTE]
