The votive Vrbs RomaBetween 347 and 348, the anverese of
Vrbs Roma was combined with
reverse VOT XX XXX MVLT. This issue of thid small
votive coins (14-16 mm in
diameter) took place only by the mints of
Heraclea and
Nicomedia.
For
Heraclea, there were two issues involving two
Officinae (A and B:
Ric 49 and 56 respectively, identified by a dot in front of the initials of the
mint). Instead for
Nicomedia there was only one issue,
rare although has been performed by five workshops (A, B, Δ, H, Θ).
Due to the small size of the module, generally less than that of the issue, often the
exergue is barely visible. Therefore the specimens where is secure
identification of
mint and
officina, are to be considered quite
rare. (I haven't sure samples of
Nicomedia).
Not infrequently, illegible or unclear
Vrbs Roma votives of
Heraclea proposals by sellers, are attributing to
mint of
Nicomedia.
In parallel, there was also the issue
votive with
Constantinopolis in anverse, emitted from
Heraclea and
Cyzicus.
If you have other images, in addition to those I posted below, post them too!
