<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2650641, member: 74834&quot;]Some time ago, I bought an auction lot with 6 contemporary imitations of 4th century Roman coins. Here are the two nicest ones on the kitchen table - they are better in hand. </p><p>One is a cententionalis imitating Constantius Gallus (with his pointy nose), reverse Concordia militum, the emperor between two christogram standards. <a href="http://www.coinarchives.com/7c791aa658bd8e7c2d23f6c15d7b72c6/img/schulman/352/image00711.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinarchives.com/7c791aa658bd8e7c2d23f6c15d7b72c6/img/schulman/352/image00711.jpg" rel="nofollow">This is the example</a>, my coin&#039;s measures are almost the same: 21.5 mm diameter, 4.84 gr. Not in Bastien.</p><p>To the right you see the Constantine I type with helmet, reverse Victoriae laetae, common enough (Bastien pl. 41 nr. 1). but not with the head to the left, like mine. 16.5 cm, 2.46 gr.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>See P. Bastien, Imitations of Roman bronze coins 318-363, p. 143-177 in <i>Museum Notes</i> 30, ANS 1985.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]586365[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]586368[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
