<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 24796426, member: 10613&quot;]Here&#039;s a plate coin for a book that is not out yet. Paul DiMarzio&#039;s book on the London mint is due out soon. I don&#039;t remember what it is called; but it is abbreviated RML, so I believe it is Roman Mint of London.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1586364[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4">Constantine I</font></p><p><font size="4">A.D. 319</font></p><p><font size="4">17mm 3.4g</font></p><p><font size="4">CONSTANTINVS AVG; laureate helmeted and cuirassed bust right.</font></p><p><font size="4">VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP; two Victories stg., facing one another, together holding shield/ wreath inscribed VOT PR on decorated altar.</font></p><p><font size="4">In ex.

The book &quot;London Mint of Constantius and Constantine&quot; (LMCC) by Cloke and Toone has a 2nd edition coming out shortly.
