Title: Constantine I PROVIDENTIAE AVGG from Arles...transfer of Ostia mint
Post by: Victor on March 31, 2020, 10:14:12 PM

Here is a rare type that commemorates the transfer of the mint from Ostia to Arles. It is currently for sale, though the "buy it now" of $1500 might be a bit much. Of course, it would be nice if there was a better picture, but it does look like it is in decent condition.

Constantine I
A.D. 313
IMP CONSTNATINVS P F AVG; laureate and cuirassed bust left, with spear across right shoulder and shield on left arm.
PROVIDENTIAE AVGG; Female standing on prow, holding cornucopiae, received by turreted Arles holding standard
In ex. QARL
RIC VII Arles 30

The seller changed the prices several times. I was a little angry about it.
I think it worth about 300-400€.

I attach a better picture.
