[QUOTE="seth77, post: 2236998, member: 56653"]On a parallel issue for Crispus who was also consul in 321, the titulature is as expected N C COS II. I think the fact that Constantine Jr lacks the title on the legend of his issues is most likely due to the fact that the die cutters could not fit those 2 letters on the die without giving up on those stylish dots that separate the words on the obv. legend. As for CONS instead of COS, it's also the norm for Maxentius and his dedications to his son Romulus. Also, on the topic of consular legends, with a twist, here's one of my earlier posts about Constantine's 4th Consulship in 315: [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/incredible-lrb-dated-consular-constantine-i.266854/#post-2204725[/url] And as bonus, an incredible Tacits with IMP C M CL TACITVS P F AVG P M TR P COS III obv. legend: [ATTACH=full]440620[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
