<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikjo0, post: 169879, member: 3565&quot;]Very nice dumanyu!</p><p>Here is the Rome version.It&#039;s interesting to note that although these were issued for many years afterward (330-346AD),the original date of issue was on May 11,330 AD,one of the only ancient coins that we have this much specific information on.This was the date of the celebration and these coins were handed out to the general poulation that attended the festivities.Bear in mind that Constantinople had been founded just 6 years before so this was sort of a &quot;Grand Opening&quot; ceremony and Rome was included to make them feel like they weren&#039;t being abandoned.</p><p>Incidentally,mine was minted at Heraclia and yours at Thessalonica,the 4th letter on mine and 5th on yours (delta) being the officina mark within the mint.Since Delta is the 4th letter in the Greek alphabet,yours was made in workshop #4.</p><p><a href="http://tjbuggey.ancients.info/mints.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://tjbuggey.ancients.info/mints.html" rel="nofollow">http://tjbuggey.ancients.info/mints.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
