Constantinus diademed, Antioch

Hello,

I think this coin is with bust E2 of RIC VII (Antioch) therefore RIC 78. What is your opinion about the diadem? Rosette diadem?

Rather RIC VII ANTIOCH 81. I see the remaining of dot in the doorway.

Yes. Not laurel wreath for sure. And other type of diadem probably does not exist for this emission. I believe that bust on ANTIOCH 79 should be also treated as E2. I do not like such vague distinctions which ends as a matter of opinion.

Yes, definitely a wreath. It is just more squarish than other mints.

You really mean it or it is just a slip?

Sorry slip - meant to reinforce your answer - should have been "Yes, definitely a diadem."
