No 635: Roman gold solidus of Constantius II
No 635: Roman gold solidus of Constantius II: This has got to be one of the nicest coins we have ever produced. Constantius II was the second son of Constantine I and
Fausta.. He was emperor from 337 - 361 AD. This coin, a solidus made from gold, has on the obverse side the legend FL IVL CONSTANTIVS PERP AVG and shows a helmeted and cuirassed bust facing forward
holding a spear and a shield. The reverse reads GLORIA REIPVBLICAE and shows Roma and Constantinopolis seated, holding a shield inscribed VOT XXX MVLT XXXX, in exergue it has the letters KONS. There is some conflicting views about this mint town. We have been informed that this coin was minted in Arles. We would appreciate any further information regarding the mint town. Price is £2.75 plus postage We now accept credit card payments via Paypal see How to Order
