Ciao, in questi giorni è passata sulla Baia la seguente moneta presentata come siliqua di Costantino senza alcun dati fisico di corredo e presentata come “RR”. Mi ha incuriosito il titolo: si tratta di una epigrafica COSTANTINIANA DAFNE. Questa tipologia è già di suo considerata abbastanza rara (r1 – r5) ma sul RIC compare come AE Follis (e come tale è presente nei miei vassoi )e con legenda al diritto CONSTANTINVS MAX Constantine I, 272-337 AE Follis: 19mm, 2.62g, 6h; Constantinople Mint: 328 Obv: CONSTANTI-NVS MAX AVG; Rosette-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right. Rev: CONSTANTINIANA DAFNE; Dafne as Victory standing left on cippus holding palm branches, looking right, trophy in front, kneeling captive / A // CONS Reference: RIC VII, Constantinople 35 (p. 574) R3 (Cited from: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancients-constantiniana-dafne.249839/ e con il busto nudo e sguardo rivolto al cielo CONSTANTINE I AE3 3.12g, 20mm Constantinople mint, AD 328 RIC VII 32 O: CONSTANTI-NVS MAX AVG, rosette-diademed head of Constantine right, looking up to the heavens.
