Le GENIO de Constantin I

Hors période, mais très intrigante

Je commence ma série avec une rareté:





OBVERSE

FLVALCONSTANTINVSFILAVG [FL VAL CONSTANTINVS FIL AVG]; head r., laur.

REVERSE

GENIOF-ILAVG [GENIO FIL AVG]; Genius stg. l., modius on head, naked but for chlamys over l. shoulder, r. holding patera (from which liquor flows), l. cornucopiae. Crescent in left field, Є in right field. ANT in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

[CORRECTION]. According to RIC, ANTIOCHIA 105 has dot in m.m. (ANT•). However, nearly all specimens seen by the present author have m.m. without dot. Variety with dot probably also exists but is very rare. See example of ANTIOCHIA 105 with dot very small and hardly visible.

belle rarete, en super état

Très belle et plutôt  rare Mais le génie a mangé le croissant .

Je continue avec la version de "Caesar"





OBVERSE

FLVALCONSTANTINVSNOBCAES [FL VAL CONSTANTINVS NOB CAES]; head r., laur.

REVERSE

GENICA-ESARIS* [GENIO CAESARIS*]; Genius stg. l., modius on head, naked but for chlamys over l. shoulder, r. holding patera (from which liquor flows), l. cornucopiae. Crescent in left field, Є in right field. ANT in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

[CORRECTION]. RIC list for this type obv. legend 5a [FL VAL CONSTANTINVS FIL AVG] which is rather unexpected for GENIO CAESARIS rev. Actually, obv. legend is FL VAL CONSTANTINVS NOB CAES. Probably misprint in RIC: 5a instead of 5b.

Très belle

Pas mal aussi celle ci

Et enfin un génie comme "Augustus"  






OBVERSE

IMPCFLVALCONSTANTINVSPFAVG [IMP C FL VAL CONSTANTINVS P F AVG]; head r., laur.

REVERSE

GENIOIMP-ERATORIS [GENIO IMPERATORIS]; Genius stg. l., modius on head, naked but for chlamys over l. shoulder, r. holding patera (from which liquor flows), l. cornucopiae. Crescent over altar in left field, Є  in right field. ANT in exergue [note that there is a misprint in RIC; crescent omitted in diagram on p. 638].

Encore une belle monnaie
