Constantine Providentiae Avgg, Arles.jpg
Providentiae Avgg RIC Arles 30varAE Follis 313ce

[IMP] CONSTANTINVS PF AVG, bust left, cuir., laureate, shield over left shoulder, spear over right

PROVIDE-NT-IAE AVGG, female figure (possibly Moneta) on prow, holding cornucopia, facing what must be the personification of Arles, who is holding a standard (Ben informs me that this may be a symbol of Constantine's Italian victory).

QARL in exergue

3.57g, 21.4mm
RIC Arles 30

This particular issue is quite unusual with this obverse type, however I am aware of one other in existence. The symbolism of this type and it's partner, VTILITAS PVBLICA, is rather special. On the VTILITAS issue, Moneta is on prow also, but facing away from the figure (probably the personification of Ostia) on the shore, as if departing. On the Providentiae issue, Moneta is depicted as arriving at Arles. An interesting oddity of my example however: On most of these coins, the figure on shore is not wearing a turreted headdress, while on this example, she is.

This particular issue is quite unusual with this obverse type, however I am aware of one other in existence. The symbolism of this type and it's partner, VTILITAS PVBLICA, is rather special. On the VTILITAS issue, Moneta is on prow also, but facing away from the figure (probably the personification of Ostia) on the shore, as if departing. On the Providentiae issue, Moneta is depicted as arriving at Arles. An interesting oddity of my example however: On most of these coins, the figure on shore is not wearing a turreted headdress, while on this example, she is.

This is one of the few coins that I think RIC was even close to getting a correct rarity on. I have yet to see another example of this issue from this mint. If you have one, please send me a scan! Shame about the patina on the obverse.

Mint mark illegible, but should be from Thessalonica, as this was the only mint to produce this obverse legend.
Not listed in RIC with this combination of obverse and reverse legend.

Beautiful Turqoise patina.
