Humble Constans of the day...
« on: November 25, 2014, 12:43:13 pm »
...but not as common as the Two-Victories and Victory holding wreath and palm types.

Skimming through RIC VIII, it appears this type was only minted in Aquileia (74, 75) and Siscia (179-181). A variant from Sirmium spells out the abbreviation AVGG as AVGVSTORVM (25).

RIC VIII Siscia 181.

A great example of the art of late antiquity, a period of art history I find endlessly fascinating..

Best Regards,
Steve
