<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2101770, member: 42773&quot;]I&#039;m going to retract what I said earlier about not posting coins for attribution, with apologies to Charles. Bruck is, after all, a guide to attributing coins that have details missing. If we don&#039;t use it as such, we&#039;ve completely missed the point.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug attributed an earlier coin of Charles&#039; to the Cyzicus mint. In the post I quoted above, I knew the coin belonged to either Constantius II or Constans, but since the right side of the obverse legend is missing, which one is it?</p><p><br /></p><p>If I read Bruck correctly (p.89), he tells me the legend break on the obverse makes it a coin of Constantius II. Constans has the legend break CONSTA-NS for every mint except Alexandria. From the pic, however, I can&#039;t tell if the mint is Nicomedia or Cyzicus. I&#039;m leaning toward SMN?.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]395449[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Since we&#039;ve gone off on this tangent, I&#039;ll post my two coins of this VOTA type, Constantius II and VRBS ROMA. Doug is right: we probably won&#039;t get this far into the book...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]395466[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395467[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
