Constans FEL TEMP galley with figurehead from Antioch

(1/1)

Victor:
RIC only lists this type with a pearl diadem, while this one has a rosette diadem.

The coin is nicely engraved (especially the reverse) and the prow looks like it has a figurehead on it...maybe a wolf or a draco.

Also note a design element that pops up on LRB's-- the wavy line with dots.

tjaart:
That design element reminds me of the campgate you won the other day. Very interesting.

tjaart:
I just found this campgate as well. Instead of the pattern in top, as the coin I mentioned previously http://www.lateromanbronzecoinforum.com/index.php/topic,1315.msg3709.html, it has the same decoration in the base in this example from Wildwinds:
 
Constantius II, AE3, 328-329, Nicomedia,
FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C, laureate, draped, cuirassed bust left.
PROVIDEN-TIAE CAES dot, Campgate with six layers, two turrets, no doors, star above,
decorated base.
Mintmark SMNS.
RIC VII Nicomedia 158; Sear 17650.

you find it on other LRB's also...here are two VLPP's with the design on the ceter piece of the helmet.

Victor:
here's another LRB with the wavy line and dots- look on ROMA's left shoulder

and a shield with wavy lines and dots

the visor on a helmet and shoulder of an VRBS ROMA
