Today's finds:Two Romans


Two roman coins 1 i think its a woman(ive never had a woman on a roman coin)

Before you celebrate it reminds me of some of the Commemorative types with the shroud. So could be male with shroud.

 

[ivobg]

can you identify it

 

[CRUSADER]

Its 'similar' to this one (my ID):
http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/constantine/_cyzicus_RIC_VIII_046.jpg
Constantine I. AE4. Cyzicus. 347-348 AD. DV CONSTANTI-NVS PT AVGG, Veiled head right / VN-MR, Constantine, veiled, in shroud, standing right, hand clasped to breast. Mintmark SMKD. RIC VIII Cyzicus 46.

 

[ivobg]

its not that

 

[CRUSADER]

its not that

The reverse type is spot on, there are many mints & die variants for heads etc. Its 99% there.

 

[CRUSADER]

Had a closer look at the reverse & I can see the mint is correct as well as the legend, because I can see the 'S' & 'K' - S[M]K[D]. So I'm now 100% sure thats your coin.

 

[wagbert]

Last letter in mint name is "gamma", the 4th officia.

 

[wagbert]

I meant 3rd officia. Delta, the triangle would be 4th

 

[ivobg]

so its not a woman

 

[CRUSADER]

so its not a woman

Not this time, but it will come soon with the numbers your finding.

Dads email:

Well done I believe too that you are spot on - I can read clearly the SMKD for mint plus the vague outlines of the DV CONS[.

 

[ivobg]
