                                Description

     LATE ROMAN EMPIRE: Constans, as Caesar 333-337. Third Son of
     Constantine I and Fausta, born about AD 320, died AD 350.

        [Constans - Two Soldiers/One Standard Reverse Coin Image]

     Bronze AE4, Minted at Cyzicus during the period AD 337-340, 16
     mm. Diameter.

     Obverse: CONSTA-NS PF AVG, laurel and rosette diadem, left
     facing, draped and cuirassed bust of Constans.

     Reverse: GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS, SMKS in exergue. Two soldiers
     standing facing one another, each holding reversed spear and
     resting hand on shield; between them one standard.

     Reference: A great portrait bust of Constans. Listed as Sear
     #3970v, RIC VIII Cyzicus #13 (RIC Rarity - "R").

     Grade: VF+/F+ with crowded legends. Outstanding detail in the
     diadem and hair as well as the cuirassing. Some strike weakness
     and/or die wear seen on the reverse. Even light brown patina over
     all surfaces. This coin is even nicer when you consider the RIC
     rarity indication and the tough to find left facing obverse bust
     with the GLORIA reverse type.

     Add $1.75 Shipping and Handling to bid price. (US only, others
     email to discuss options). (cn2_g1_1.jpg)
