New addition to Constantine I collection

Recently I purchased these three AE3 follis of Constantine I:
Gloria Romanorum

Constantiniana Dafne

Virtus Exercit

Post you rare Constantine I reverses. I did not find yet at an acceptable price reverses with head of helmeted Mars and head of radiate Sol.

Love that Gloria Romanorum. I still don't have one of those.

Here's an "eyes to heaven" Dafne, ex Beast Coins.

 

Super posts!!

Here are a few of mine-- the 'Victorys Holding Shield' reverse plus 'Eyes to Heaven/Daphne'...and Sol:

 

Excellent coins especially last one.

 

There are some very interesting Con I coins and the OP coins fit very well into this description

 

Cool additions! I'm not really sure which of my reverses are rare.

 

Nice coins all, I like the staring up to heaven examples, as well as the very interesting reverse types.

 

Here's a fairly rare Constantine:

 

I still have many to photograph.

 

Cool OP coins

RIC-, C-, Roman coins -
RIC lists this type only for Licinius and Maximinus . "Iovi Conservatori and Virtuti Exercitus both appear for Licinius and Maximinus, emissions for the former being the more scarce: coinage for Constantine is extremely rare. Date, c. 311". Coin should be listed after NICOMEDIA 70c.

Q

 

This modest looking bronze is apparently quite scarce due to the 'cross' reverse (sorry, old practice photos):


Constantine I/ CONSTANTI-NVS MAX AVG/ GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS/cross in lower centre, o on banner/ AQP/Aquileia/ RIC VII Aquileia 124/ R4

 

Great coins by all!

 

Two that haven't been included yet:

As Caesar, Lugdunum, RIC 213b:


And a poshumous type, Constantinople, issued 247-48:

 

Got a few of Constantine the great, nothing special I think, but I like 'm.

 

Those are some great coins!

 

Struck in Siscia, the coin is rated R5 and listed RIC VII - 82 D.

 

Great reverses Cucumbor. I have Maximinus II with reverse VIRTVTI -EXERCITVS

 

Great coins @gogili1977
I love the Daphne reverse. It is my favourite reverse for Constantine. Here is mine,
it is an ex Dattari coin

 

I just acquired this coin of Maximinus II Daia. I can read "Genio Populi Romani" on reverse, with a star to the right field. The exergue is not very clear, but the coin seems to have been struck in Rome or Trier, I think.
