[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2435299, member: 15588"]Thanks for the info. I haven't found an exact match on the wildwinds site yet, but I do now know the mintmark is SMKΓ dot. The capital Gamma threw me. And the figures are soldiers, not retiarii. Makes sense. The closest I see is : Cyzicus RIC VII 69 Constantius II AE3. 330-334 AD. FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C, laureate, draped & cuirassed bust right / GLORIA EXERCITVS, two soldiers, helmeted, standing with spears & shields, facing two standards between them, dot on banners. Mintmark SMKΓ dot. With this picture: [IMG]http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/constantius_II/_cyzicus_RIC_vII_069.jpg[/IMG] But it has plenty of differences from mine - or is this as close as I get? I'm new to this, but definitely fascinated. [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] 117 Emperors? Or maybe plus pretenders? Ok, so perhaps 115 more to go. Whoa.[/QUOTE]
