Title: Three different GE for Constantine II - Lyon and Trier
Post by: Genio popvli romani on January 25, 2013, 11:30:37 AM

Here are three different samples imitating two standards GE prototypes

Not so bad, excepted the crude style

 

Engraver has not really chosen between laureate or diademed bust

 

B1 bust never seen for GE type

May be you will appreciate this particular one. A mule RIC.590/586
I guess that if Constantine had seen such a bust, he would have immediatly promulgated a very drastic law. ;D
