[QUOTE="Heliodromus, post: 7752428, member: 120820"]That's a neat little Trajan - never seen that denomination before. Seeing as I collect Constantine, all I have are LRB fractions. This is RIC VI Trier 681b, a 1/8 nummus measuring 13mm and 1.32g. This is probably one of the first coins issued by Constantine, QVIES AVGG, issued for both Maximianus and Diocletian. Later Constantine would issue QVIES AVG for Maximianus (as a regular nummus) when he re-retired. [ATTACH=full]1327677[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1327678[/ATTACH] Here's another similar sized coin, RIC VI Trier 906, measuring approx. 13.5mm. This one's a 1/4 nummus, but now based on the reduced size nummus of Constantine's coinage reform in 310 AD. [ATTACH=full]1327679[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1327680[/ATTACH] Yeah - your Trajan is tiny ![/QUOTE]
