<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7909235, member: 19463&quot;]To me the evidence is conclusive.&nbsp; There are coins of Constantine I with both two and one standard.&nbsp; He was alive when the reduction occurred unless you assume all his coins were posthumous but not marked as such.&nbsp; There are no coins of his sons as Augusti using the heavier, two standards weight.&nbsp; Their heavy coins are as Caesar. When dad died the boys all started striking as Augusti but the coins were by then small.&nbsp; Note that Constantine never promoted the sons to be his equal in rank but all three volunteered for the job when he was gone.&nbsp; The commemoratives were issued in honor of the founding of the new capitol under Constantine and equally to salve the &#039;wounds&#039; the move made on the old capitol Rome.&nbsp; Who originated this idea that RIC is wrong in their sequencing?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
