<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 7837158, member: 86498"]Constantius II Av Solidus Antioch 355-361 AD. Obv Helmeted cuirassed bust facing holding spear over shoulder and carrying shield. Rv. Roma and Constantinopolis enthroned supporting a shield between them. RIC 168 4.38 grms 21 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1347555[/ATTACH]This very intricate design first appeared on a regular basis on this issue minted by Constantius II. This image was not unique to the mint of Antioch and was employed by many of the other mints within the Empire. Though an image that is facing is quite difficult to create, the artist that created this image did so with some panache. About fifty years later this image became the standard for solidii minted at the eastern mints of the Empire. Ps At the time no one loved this coin. It was remaindered and I purchased it about 8 months after the close of the auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
