Constantine the Great

Assorted Reverse Types of Constantine
Adventvs - Gloria Exercitvs

      These pages feature some of the reverse types of Constantine. At one point, I wanted to collect one example of each type of bronze coin of Constantine. A few of his coins are exceedingly rare though and if they ever turn up sell for quite a lot of money. Some of the reverse types were not even issued by Constantine, but were issued by other rulers in the name of Constantine. Eventually, I became more interested in coins that Constantine issued and focused more on his coinage after his first civil war with Licinius (A.D. 317). I believe that this is when you can start to see some of Constantine showing up in his coinage.

This type possibly references a visit Constantine made to London, perhaps recruiting soldiers for his war against Maxentius.

This coin is not listed in RIC with this bust type (CC). It should be listed after London 197. It is in Huvelin as #81. It is in the new London mint book as either 7.04.012 or 7.04.013, the difference being 12 is cuirassed and 13 is draped and cuirassed, with the question being “are all examples actually draped and cuirassed”. On this coin it is too worn to speculate.

"This coin obviously induced Voetter (NZ 1909, Atlas, Tafel 5) to regard this mark as the first of the Gloria exercitus series. The coin, however, does not illustrate any transition from the Providentiae coinage, where Constantine already earlier had been accorded the obv. legend with MAX AVG. As it is difficult to accept this coin of the Gloria 2-standard as depicting Constantine II as Augustus, it should be classified as an inexplicable irregularity."     RIC VII pg 558
