<p>[QUOTE=&quot;OutsiderSubtype, post: 4580397, member: 112457&quot;]Here is a coin of Constantine, minted in his name by his frenemy Licinius:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1134372[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse legend is IMP C CONSTANTINVS PF AVG.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is IOVI CONSERVATORI AVGG NN and has Jupiter holding victory and an eagle with a wreath.</p><p><br /></p><p>The RIC reference is RIC Thessalonica 61b.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is this:</p><p><br /></p><p>Van Meter (2000) lists this reverse with obverse legend 21, IMP CONSTANTINVS PF AVG, as number 48. Also listed is obverse legend 23, IMP C VAL CONSTANTINVS PF AVG, as number 49. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is not listed with obverse legend 22, which is the one I have.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I get the impression that Van Meter meant for the obverse legend listings to be the most common obverses for the reverse type, rather than an exhaustive list.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would it be more correct to say the coin is not listed in Van Meter, or to give a reference to this reverse type and note that the legend is a little different? </p><p><br /></p><p>I should say that the purpose of this citation is for my records and that I&#039;m not trying to sell the coin or anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your insight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
