RIC Volume VII - Constantine and Licinius: Arles/Constantina Mint

	Constantine I, AE Follis, 313-315, Arles, Officina 1 IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG Laureate, cuirassed bust right SOLI INV_I_CTO COMITI Sol, radiate, standing facing, head left, chlamys across left shoulder, right hand raised, globe in left PARL in exergue 20mm x 21mm, 3.35g RIC VII, 41 (R4)
Z5846 - to be photographed EF, some weakly struck areas caused by an overstrike of an undermined host coin, mutliple die breaks on reverse	Constantine I, AE Follis, Later 316, Arles, Officina 1 IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right SOLI INV_I_CTO COMITI Sol, radiate, standing facing, head left, chlamys across left shoulder, right hand raised, globe in left M \| F across fields ARLA in exergue 18mm x 20mm, 3.31g RIC VII, 102 (R3) Note: An exceptionally unusual die break on the reverse makes it appear as though Sol is holding a branch upward in his right hand. Although this attribute is common on antoniniani, it is not known on Late Roman bronzes.
	Constantine II, AE3, 317, Arles, Officina 2 CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB CAES Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right CLARIT_A_S REIPVB Sol, radiate, standing facing, head left, chlamys across left shoulder, right hand raised, globe in left R \| S across fields SARL in exergue 19mm x 20mm, 3.74g RIC VII, 118 (R2)
	Crispus, AE3, 317, Arles, Officina 4 CRISPVS NOB CAES Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right, seen from behind PRINCIPIA I_V_VENTVTIS Mars, naked except for helmet and boots, advancing right, spear pointing forward in right hand, shield in left, chlamys flying behind R \| S across fields QARL in exergue 19mm x 20mm, 3.31g RIC VII, 129 (R2) Note: It could be argued this bust type is actually laureate, draped seen from behind, as there is no evidence of a cuirass under the paludamentum. However, RIC does not list such a bust type for the Constantinian period.
	Licinius II, AE3, 317-318, Arles, Officina 3 VAL LICINIVS NOB CAES Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right IOVI CONSER_VATORI Jupiter standing left, chlamys across left shoulder, thunderbolt in right hand, scepter in left C \| S across fields TARL in exergue 18mm, 2.62g RIC VII, 142 (S)
	Crispus, AE3, 317-318, Arles, Officina 4 CRISPVS NVB (sic) CAES Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right PRINCIPIA IVV_ENTVTIS Mars, nude, but for helmet, boots and chlamys over left shoulder, standing facing, head left, right hand resting on shield, reversed spear in left C \| S across fields QARL in exergue 20mm, 2.80g RIC VII, 143 (S) Note: The celator apparently mangled the O in NOB of the obverse legend, leaving NVB instead.
	Constantine I, AE3, 317-318, Arles, Officina 4 IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG Laureate, cuirassed bust right SOLI INV_I_CTO COMITI Sol, radiate, standing facing, leaning left, head left, chlamys across left shoulder, right hand raised, globe in left C \| S across fields QARL in exergue 19mm x 20mm, 3.47g RIC VII, 146 (R4) Note: RIC describes this position as "standing left".
	Constantine I, AE3, 317-318, Arles, Officina 1 IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right SOLI INVI_CTO COMITI Sol, radiate, standing facing, leaning right, head left, chlamys across left shoulder, right hand raised, globe in left C \| S across fields PARL in exergue 18mm x 20mm, 3.66g RIC VII, 150 (S) Note: RIC describes this position as "standing right".

Most likely, this has been addressed in scholarship more recent than RIC VII, so I will endeavor to find more information on the subject.
	Constantine I, AE3, 319-320, Arles, Officina 1 CONSTAN_TINVS AVG Laureate head right VICTORIAE LAET PRINC PERP Two Victories, standing facing each other, inscribing shield with VOT \| PR, above altar with pellet (?) PARL in exergue 18mm x 20mm, 2.59g RIC VII, -- Ex Keith Metzer Collection, April 2006 Note: RIC does not list any Constantine I issues for the short LAET reverse legend.

	Crispus, AE3, 321, Arles, Officina 3 CRISPVS-NOB CAES Laureate head right CAESARVM NOSTRORVM Legend surrounding wreath, terminating with rosette and pellet, enclosing VOT / . / X T star in crescent A in exergue 19mm x 20mm, 3.24g RIC VII, 244 (R1) Note: RIC describes 241 and 244 identically, thus I believe 244 and 245 are supposed to be described as VOT X reverse and not VOT V. Since the coins are not plated and there is nothing in addenda and corrigenda on p. 713, but there is a footnote on p. 260 for a Licinius II example with VOT X, I can only conclude the descriptions are incorrect.
	Constantine I, AE3, 322, Arles, Officina 2 CONSTAN_TINVS AVG Laureate head right D N CONSTANTINI MAX AVG Legend surrounding wreath, terminating with rosette and pellet, enclosing VOT / . / XX ARLS in exergue 18mm x 19mm, 3.05g RIC VII, 246 (R4)

Also, the lettering style is just a touch crude, suggesting this is an imitative piece of good style, of which there were numerous in the Killingholme Hoard.
	Constantine I, AE3, 322-323, Arles, Officina 2 CONSTAN ._TINVS AVG Laureate head right D N CONSTANTINI MAX AVG Legend surrounding wreath, terminating with rosette and pellet, enclosing VOT / . / XX S*AR in exergue 19mm x 20mm, 2.78g RIC VII, 252 variant Ex Killingholme Hoard Note: Variant for legend attribute - RIC does not mention any examples with the pellet in the obverse legend break

	Constantine II, AE3, between 324-328?, Arles CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right VIRTV_S AVGG Campgate with five rows, four turrets, no doors, no star above, top and bottom rows empty blocks ARL in exergue 19mm x 20mm, 1.84g RIC VII, -- Ex Lucie Courcy, eBay, November 2006 Note: Although of quite official looking style, the exergual mark is unknown for regular Arles issues, the reverse is usually for Constantine I and there is always a star on campgates of Constantine and his family once the campgate reverse was officially rolled out to the rest of the empire in 324 (Heraclea minted campgates from 313 and on and Rome was experimenting with different types before the rollout). Also note, there is no officina mark on this coin. Much more research is needed.
	Constantine II, AE3, 324-325, Arelatum, Officina 3 CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right PROVIDEN_TIAE CAESS Campgate with six rows, two turrets, no doors, star above, top and bottom rows empty blocks T*AR in exergue 19mm x 20mm, 3.02g RIC VII, 273 (R3) Ex Camoludunum Coins, eBay, August 2003

The obverse legend is misspelled - should be CONSTANTINVS. Also, the exergue mark is incorrect - should be TAR and appears to be a deliberate P and not just a mis-struck R.

As this specimen has no other series marks in the exergue and field, and has two standards instead of one, I am ascribing this to c.330 AD when the GLORIA EXERCITVS series was introduced at Constantina with this exergual mark and no series marks. RIC cites two unique coins, one of Constantine I and one of Constantius II from this very first series, both residing in the British Museum. Possibly the series with the pellet field mark was minted immediately after the first series and before the next series from 330-331 with this same exergual mark but a star in the field or exergue.

Legion VIII was one of the oldest units in the Roman army, having been in battle with Julius Caesar in Gaul in 58BC and stationed in Argentorate from 70 AD (under Vespasian) until into the fifth century, defending the Rhine territories. Personal note of thanks to Dane Kurth for determining the banner design from another specimen with the same devices on a coin of Constantine II from the same series.
