Lot 4853

Constantius II, as Caesar, 324-337. Follis (Silvered bronze, 20 mm, 3.23 g, 12 h), Nicomedia, 328-329. FL IVL CONSTANTIVS IVN NOB C Diademed, draped and cuirassed bust of Constantius II to left. Rev. PROVIDEN-TIAE CAES • / SMNB Camp gate with two turrets and no doors; above, star. RIC -. Apparently unpublished. Slightly rough, otherwise, extremely fine.

From the collection of Dr. L. Ramskold, formed since 1969.

RIC only included bare-headed busts for the Caesars for this emission, but this piece shows Constantine II with a plain diadem. Several such examples are also known for Constantius II. They probably reflect some uncertainty on the mint's part on how to portray the Caesars at a time when Constantine and the court were still on their way to Nicomedia on the return journey from Rome in 327.
