Just noticed this
thread and a what a fantastic paper on this subject. Well thought out and documented. I've been following Dr. Ramskold collecting for over a decade now and have read two other of
his papers on this
area. Can not wait for the completion of
his reference. Judging from these it will be a groundbreaking
work. I found it fascinating that the evidence suggests the gold issues at this time were from the imperial traveling
mint and given mainly as donatives perhaps by the Emperor himself or a high ranking official. Also, by a
rare Rome issue of
Crispus we can accurately pinpoint the month of
his execution. I won't spoil the paper by telling you in my comment.
Thank you Dr. Ramskold for making this available to us collectors and an equal thanks to Ben for posting it here for us to read.
If you ever come across across an unlisted or very
rare Rome issue of
Constantine and
his family, contact Lars Ramskold, especially before
his book is published.
