Description ***Please be sure to follow the hyperlinks below to CNG's new postage rates for all online sales*** [Image] Constantine III. 407-411 AD. AR Siliqua (1.75 gm). Struck 408-411 AD. Trier mint. D N CONSTAN-TINVS P F AVG, diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / VICTORI-A AAVGGG, Roma seated left on cuirass, holding Victory on globe and reversed spear; TRMS. RIC X 1534; DOCLR 799ff; RSC 4A. Toned, nice VF, reverse scrape. 712733. Following the assassinations of the usurpers Marcus and Gratianus, Constantine III was proclaimed emperor by the legions in Britain. To ensure his position, he sailed to Gaul where he encountered little opposition, and was officially recognized by Honorius--though Theodosius and Arcadius failed to follow Honorius' lead. Constantine proved to be a competent ruler, defeating the local barbarians and negotiating agreements with the Alemanni and Burgundians, but he became over-ambitious and lead a failed attempt to invade Italy. Attacked by his own general Gerontius and eventually the troops of Honorius, Constantine was killed in 411. This siliqua was struck sometime after the death of Arcadius when there were three associate rulers, Constantine III, Honorius and Theodosius II, as advertised by the three G's in AVGGG on the reverse. Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege for any reason. CNG accepts for payment: check, money order or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express). The manner of payment accepted is subject to our qualification of the bidder. CNG's Domestic, Canadian, and International postage rates. Pennsylvania residents please add appropriate sales tax.
