I've got this follis - a nice coin to be sure, but the most common type: as caesar, Jupiter standing... The reason I ask is that I'm interested in a Constantius I as augustus, which seem undervalued to me, considering they were minted for less than a year. The Fides seated reverse is particularly appealing. Any advice or suggestions? Or just post them if you've got them.
I have one, not very nice....JA nice look'in coin,with full details, you've been collecting all over the board lately, do you have a theme, or are you like me, buy as the coin calls you....... Constantius 1 ( Chorus). As Caesar...293 - 305...AD.. AE Follis.. Laur. curr. bust right. Moneta standing left, Scales Star right field.. Mint Rome.. 27mm x 6.37 g.( sellers info)..
Good coins, guys, thanks for posting! This isn't a new coin for me, Eng. I've been pretty much sticking to my Nabataeans, but occasionally something else catches my eye. The pic in my first post is a dealer's image. Here's mine, taken today - practicing the pic skills...
Constantius I AE Follis Date: 301-303 AD Diameter: 28.5 mm Weight: 10.1 grams Obverse: CONSTANTIVS NOB C - Laureate and cuirassed bust left, holding sceptre over left shoulder Reverse: GENIO POPVLI ROMANI - Genius standing left, holding patera over altar and cornucopiæ; B right, PLC in ex. (Lugdunum mint) Reference: RIC 167a Other: Superb and bold portrait
Okay ... here is a typical stevex6 question: => ummm, how do I know if my coin is a coin "as Caesar, or as Augustus"?
i have only this one....less than attractive... coin as caesar. it's a good match with eng's coin above, same mint and moneta reverse. mine is ric vi rome 112..do you know what yours is eng?
