Constantine I SOL INVICTO from Ticinum...Sol facing
« on: January 23, 2018, 02:43:22 PM »
Here is a nice example of Sol facing from Ticinum. There is a small discrepancy in the RIC listing though. It is described as "Sol stg. facing, head facing" when Sol is actually "stg. r." the same as the previous coins  Ticinum 130-132.

Constantine I
A.D. 312-13
22mm    3.3gm
CONSTANTINVS P F AVG; laureate and cuirassed bust right.
SOLI INVI-C-TO COMITI; Sol rad., stg. r., raising r. hand, globe in l., chlamys across l. shoulder and hanging behind.
in ex. PT
RIC VI Ticinum 133
