Description: | Very worn Roman nummus of the House of Constantine dating from 318-324AD. This coin was struck in copper alloy and now has a dull green patina with some patches of orange-red showing through, particularly on the obverse. The obverse of the coin depicts a right facing bust possibly wearing a helmet, and the partial legend CONSTANT. The reverse type is an alter inscribed VOTIS XX, with a globe on the top. The partially worn legend is BEATA TRANQVILLITAS. The mint mark is also worn at the base of the reverse, and possibly reads TRTP. The coin is 17.75mm in diameter, 1.27mm thick and weighs 1.53 grams. The reverse type of this coin can be more clearly seen in Reece & James 1986, figure 76. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 318
