<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 2827765, member: 88829&quot;]Constantinople was dedicated as the new principle Imperial residence and seat of Government for the Roman Empire on May 11, 330.&nbsp; The city commemoratives are dated to then for their earliest origination.&nbsp; The use of the Gloria Exercitus type for the reverse can be thought of in two classes.&nbsp; Those from Heraclea (337-40) and Constantinople (337-40) are by intentional design and are quite common.&nbsp; All others were apparently inadvertent and are extremely rare.&nbsp; They are attested for Trier (332-333); Heraclea (336-337 - may have been intentional); Nicomedia (336-337); Constantinople (336-337 - may have been intentional); Cyzicus (335-336); and Antioch (single example from the Fayum hoard).&nbsp; The dates I have given here are taken from the notes in RIC VIII by Prof. John Kent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
