<p>[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3125614, member: 87404"]The past number of months I've been focusing more on coinage between Augustus and Gordian, and seem to have been neglecting my LRBs (about 2 dozen), most of which had not even had their photo taken yet. So here's a thread where I'll progressively post those in 5-6 coin chunks over the course of the coming days or something as to not inundate you with too much infinite scrolling.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b><font size="7"><span style="color: #808080">LATE ROMAN BRONZE</span></font></b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSZ0kFATfn0OD_STPwaUX8rn4rliu9a31faaRLBEK4IPOTpn79x" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b>If you have similar coins please share!</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Or if you have more info on one, share that too!</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Or if I have messed up the IDing, feel free to correct me!</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Thanks!!</b></p><p><br /></p><p>--------</p><p><br /></p><p>I'll start with some basics of the LRB collecting lineup:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]796376[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Constantine I, AE3</b></p><p><b>Rome Commemorative, 335-337 AD</b></p><p><b>Obverse:</b> VRBS ROMA, helmeted head of Roma left, wearing imperial mantle and ornamental necklace.</p><p><b>Reverse:</b> She-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, two stars above.</p><p><b>Exergue:</b> SMANΘ</p><p><b>Reference:</b> RIC VII Antioch 91/113</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]796379[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Constantine I, AE3</b></p><p><b>Constantinople Commemorative, 337-347 AD</b></p><p><b>Obverse:</b> CONSTAN-TINOPOLIS, bust of Constantinopolis left, wearing laureate and crested helmet, necklace and ornamental mantle over left shoulder, holding scepter.</p><p><b>Reverse:</b> Victory standing left, foot on prow, holding transverse sceptre and resting left hand on shield with central boss, Star (or dot?) in top right field.</p><p><b>Exergue:</b> SMANI.</p><p><b> Reference:</b> RIC VIII Antioch 38</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]796381[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Constantius II, AE3</b></p><p><b>Antioch Mint, 350-355 AD</b></p><p><b>Obverse:</b> D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG, pearl diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right.</p><p><b>Reverse:</b> FEL TEMP - REPARATIO, Soldier, helmeted, draped, cuirassed, advancing left, spearing fallen horseman with right hand and wearing shield on left arm; shield on ground to right; horseman falling forward onto neck of horse.</p><p><b>Exergue:</b> ANH</p><p><b>Reference:</b> RIC VIII Antioch 188</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]796403[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Constans I, AE3</b></p><p><b>Struck 348-350 AD, Siscia Mint, Celebration of Rome’s 1100th Anniversary</b></p><p><b>Obverse:</b> DN CONSTA-NS PF AVG, pearl-diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right.</p><p><b>Reverse:</b> FEL • TEMP • REPARATIO, phoenix, radiate, standing right on rocky mound.</p><p><b>Exergue:</b> ΓSIS•</p><p>References: RIC VIII Siscia 232</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]796407[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Constantius II, AE3</b></p><p><b>Antioch Mint, 330-348 AD</b></p><p><b>Obverse:</b> FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C, laureate, cuirassed bust right.</p><p><b>Reverse:</b> GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS, two soldiers standing facing each other, each holding a spear and shield, two standards between them.</p><p><b>Exergue:</b> SMANZ</p><p><b>References:</b> RIC VII Antioch 88</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]796411[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Constantius II, AE3</b></p><p><b>Struck 330-333 AD, Heraclea Mint</b></p><p>Obverse: FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right.</p><p>Reverse: •GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS, Two soldiers standing facing each other, each holds a spear and shield, two standards between them. </p><p>Exergue: •SMHA•</p><p>References: RIC VII Heraclea 133 var (bust type; RIC lists as helmeted)</p><p>(originally appears as rarity R2 for RIC 133 as written, but with the bust variation, who knows?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
