<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4593458, member: 110350"]What you say makes sense to me, anyway. FYI, David Sear states in RCV IV (at p. 512) that Helena died "probably in 329," and that upon her death "she was buried in Rome in a newly constructed basilica on the Via Labicana." Sear also dates the Alexandria SECVRITAS REIPVBLICE coinage with officina marks "I" and "II" (RIC VII 53 and 57) as having been minted in 329 AD, the last of her lifetime coinage. Sear RCV IV 16632. (He also dates an Antioch SECVRITAS REIPVBLICE issue [Sear RCV IV 16628, RIC VII 82] as having been minted in 328-29.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
