Faustas day

[Taranis]

Recently I was in a field where I saw many pieces of Roman dishes. During one hour of walking I found 17 bronze coins, they look better after cleaning.
Two Fausta with different hair!

c.290 - 326
Second wife of Constantine I and daughter of Maximian. Fausta was blamed for presenting false accusations of intended rape against her by Crispus, her stepson. Constantine then had his son murdered as a result. When the plot was revealed Constantine avenged Crispus's innocence by having her boiled to death.

Very cool finds !

Yes, SPES REIP VBLICAE, Fausta standing, holding Constantinus II and Constantius II in her arms--and her 'coiffure' IS different; usually almost horizontal waves, versus no waves and nearly straight down.

17 in 1 hour is a great site, there must be loads of great finds to come...

Thank you for your comments!
I went out today, I think I could find a good spot, because today was only three bronze coins.
