In the year 350 AD, a German General nicknamed Magnentius won many battles in the name of the Roman Army and then managed to murder Emperor Constans. Thus, he assumed power and became Roman Emperor. This coin figuring Magnentius weighs 5.68 g. and I noticed that the reverse is probably rare, after several researches I personally made. There seems to be a temple or even a palace there. The coin was struck in Acquillea if I'm not mistaken. I would kindly appreciate all your comments. Thanks..
Maxentius not Magnentius. Compare their obverse busts they look pretty distinguishable from each other. And I don't think Magnentius has a temple reverse type like this but I know for sure Maxentius does.
I'll take this opportunity to post a couple of mine: MAGNENTIUS AE3 OBVERSE: DN MAGNENTIVS P F AVG - Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust right; "A" behind bust REVERSE: VICTORIAE DD NN AVG ET CAE, two Victories standing facing each other, holding wreath between them inscribed VOT V MVLT X in four lines. Epsilon over IS in lower centre. Mintmark PAR in exergue Struck at Arelate 350-3 AD 3.8g, 20mm Arles RIC VIII 177 MAXENTIUS Follis OBVERSE: IMP C MAXENTIVS P F AVG, laureate head right REVERSE: CONSERV-VRB SVAE, Roma, seated facing in hexastyle temple, head left, shield at side, holding globe and sceptre. Victories as acroteria, wreath in pediment. A Omega T in Ex. Struck at Rome 308-310 AD 7.6g, 25mm RIC 210
I really owe you a lot. I mistook the letter x for a g . My coin needs a lot of cleaning , so I couldn't distinguish the letters well. Many thanks guys.. Charles
