                              CONSTANS II. 641-668 AD. AV Solidus (4.40 gm, 6h). 
                              Rome mint. Struck 641-647 AD. dN CONSTAN TINUS PP 
                              AVG, small, beardless facing bust, wearing crown 
                              and chlamys, holding globus cruciger / VICTORIA 
                              AVGU, cross potent on three steps; • and K in 
                              fields; G/CONOB. DOC II 10a var. (no pellet; 
                              Heraclonas); MIB III 112.1; SB 1117. EF, worn 
                              dies. ($1000)

                              From the Malcolm W. Heckman Collection. Ex 
                              Numismatica Ars Classica "Autumn Sale" (26-27 
                              October 1995), lot 852.

                              See lot 1371 for the suggested attribution of 
                              solidi of this type to Heraclonas. MIB 112 appears 
                              to have the same dual portrait types as the 
                              Constantinopolitan issues - 112.1 and 112.2 for 
                              Heraclonas, 112.3 and 112.4 for Constans. Hahn, 
                              however sees the numeral G as an indictional date 
                              and Indiction 3 (644/5 AD) would not work for 
                              Heraclonas.
