Hello, at first, yeah i read all articles here about her :-) but no many information
My "question" is why there is only one image of
Constantia coin - from
RIC,
RIC listed 4 of them, even coin of
Constantia is only R4 in
RIC. ?! It is real? All owners are stingy to show us images?
Here are some information what i found about her. If some information are not correct, please send correct ones. Thank you :-)

Constantia (from
RIC):

Roman coins, 1834)
I don´t understand this:
The coins of this princess given by Goltzius are not authenticated. My first question: Goltzious = Hubert Goltz/Hubertus Goltzius???
Second one, if yes, coin
s of this princess = did Goltzious have more examples? How many? Maybe some of them can be in
his famous books, which exist only in few examples?
Existing examples by RIC:1) One example should be in "Neuerwerbungen romischer munzen im munzkabinett der ermitage" by E. Pridik ZN 1930, page 76, no.12, pl. III 12
2) Jean
Lafaurie? in
Revue Numismatique in 1955!!! (online (1958 - 2003)
