Better in hand (Rome P-R campgate)

[Heliodromus]

Better in MY hand, that is! 😀

Just received this one today, ex. Lars Ramskold, ex. Leu 25.

Wasn't even planning to buy it, but saw the way prices were going during live bidding and couldn't resist!

Constantine I, Rome c.320 AD

Please show your ex. Lars coins, or anything mint of Rome from this time period.

 

[CPK]

Beautiful coin! In my opinion, the Rome mint produced some of the finest numismatic portraiture of this time period. 

 

[Qcumbor]

Nice acquisition.

Something close to @CPK's beautiful example

Thanks!

The helmet varieties are key to understanding this Rome 318-320 time period - the mix changes over time, with these "praetorian" ones coming last.

Here’s my favorite wins from the Ramskold collection- lot 2808 and 2781 respectively 

 

Cheers!

Nice siliquas of Constantine I and II! Are those tickets written by yourself? I have a siliqua of Constantine I similar to yours, but from a different mint and with a different hairband.
