    this coin is bugging me. the only reference i am able to use is wildwinds. however, my coin (ae3, trier mint) doesn't match any listed. the obverse says FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C. the only listed reverses are either campgate or soldiers with two standards between. this coin has one standard, with an "o" in the banner. the only "o" in the banner i see (RIC 82) has the obverse of FL IVL CONSTANTIVS AVG. there is a part of me that is beginning to think i purchased a fake coin. :eek::confused::( please help!!

    RIC 592 page 223 volume VII. The dots before and after the TRP are significant in the ID. RIC VII does not see that as an O in the standard but just as drapery. You were looking in RIC volume VIII listings since the AVG coins are all in VIII while the Caesar coins are in VII.
