<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4704071, member: 19463"]Both types also come in a version for Constantius Gallus. I have even seen these sols as Vetranio's even though Gallus did not come on the scene until after Vetranio retired. My examples both come from Sirmium but also exist from Siscia. Calling the Sirmium coins for either man and the Gallus coins from either mint 'Vetranio' is absurd since the mint and Gallus both started in 351. Some of us above have shown Vetranio coins from Thessalonika but that mint did not use the HOC SIGNO type (which was the point of this thread). Associating coins of Constantius II with Vetranio will require separating them into groups with minor details also used on the Vetranio coins but not used on the Gallus coins. I suspect students of the period can spot these from memory rather like they do the Constantius II name coins that can be associated with Nepotian. Whether they pay extra for them or not, I do not know. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1154968[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1154969[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>A coin I have not seen but would like if anyone has one is a Nepotian (RIC 203, Rome) with the obverse legend FL NEP CONSTANTINVS AVG. 350-351 was a spectacular period in Roman coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
