<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3915435, member: 97383"]Here is one I should have posted in the original thread. Genius in this issue is wearing the crown of Tyche instead of the usual modius. Also worthy of note, instead of wearing the chlamys over his shoulders Genius is using it to modestly cover his genitals <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. This is very unusual for a follis of this period. I noticed the follis posted by Alegandron, Genius is also covering his genitals with the chlamys. Could this be a trait peculiar just with the Trier Mint <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1032015[/ATTACH]</p><p>Constantine I as Caesar, AD 306-7, Trier Mint, Billon follis: 9.50 gm, 27 mm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
