John Conduitt Posted September 19, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2022 Apparently a common emperor, but not so often posted.Constantius Gallus (as Caesar) Follis, 351-354Rome. Billon, 4.01g. Bare-headed, draped, cuirassed bust right; DN FL CL CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES.

What a beauty! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth77 Posted September 19, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 19, 2022 A Gallus from Ambianum that was probably struck in the very last days of the mint. And if thats from budgies-beak on ebay, I think I was the under-bidder on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Collector Posted September 20, 2022 · Patron Share Posted September 20, 2022 My only Constantius Gallus is this one from Antioch I bought years ago in an uncleaned lot. It's not exactly FDC, but its reverse design is cool! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Posted September 22, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 22, 2022 This Constantius Gallus with the LXXII and the Chi-Ro from aquilea was previously in my collection. Im very happy to know it has made its way to your hands @Valentinian, I love your website and often use it on my research of late roman coinage. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maridvnvm Posted September 22, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 22, 2022 The Chi-Rho carries a significant premium over the other LXXII types. They have consistently eluided me. I have a few of the more common LXXII types 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
