Description: | Worn Roman nummus of the House of Constantine. The obverse of the coin is very worn and corroded making the details of the right facing bust unclear and the legend illegible. The obverse of the coin is also in a degraded condition, however the image of two victories facing each other, each holding a wreath, can be seen. The legend on the obverse is completely worn, however it is likely to have read VICTORIAE DD AVGG QNN. The mint mark is also unknown due to wear and corrosion. The reverse type dates the coin to 343 to 348AD. The coin was struck in copper alloy, however the surface now appears a light green colour with red-brown patches due to corrosion. The coin measures 13.81mm in diameter, 1.5mm in thickness and weighs 0.88 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
