<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Loong Siew, post: 8135954, member: 75799&quot;]Anyway we will end up speculating ourselves what the possibility could be. You are merely referencing to other possible associations of Constantinopolis based on other orichalcum coin depictions. But I and many others have also see similar representations of Helena on the same style and more so than that 1 specimen of Constantinopolis depicted on that Orichalcum piece. There is no merit to determine that either of our assumptions are definitive. Don&#039;t forget that this coin was minted on the FOUNDING of Constantinople, not years later where evolution of design becomes more likely. Even if they see fitting for a divine representation like Tyche as Constantinopolis, I doubt it should precede even the officiating or founding of the city itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, I do not wish to debate on the matter based on assumptions raised. The problem with this piece is that it is anonymous on the portrait. We are entitled to our opinions and interpretations[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
