COTD / SOLI INV-I-CTO COMITI for Constantine
« Last post by Adriaan78 on March 09, 2024, 12:30:39 PM »
I bought this coin for cheap along with a bigger purchase. I did not already have the Sol reverse with Sol holding the globe close to his body. However, I was wondering if this might be RIC 324 of 326 from Rome. I think it is impossible to say if busts seen from the reverse are cuirassed or not (and I know that more people heven the same opinion). Or is the coin from another serie with sol holding the globe close as both RIC 324 and 326 do not have a (confirmed) specimen from workshop P?  Thanks!

That’s a lot of great detail on the obverse of such a little coin. I did not realize how small these issues were until I received that lovely SAPIENTIA coin.
