boyan Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hi there, Back home for Christmas and I ran across my childhood Roman coin collection. I'd be really grateful for some details on these coins if you have any clues! Best 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hello and welcome! If you could provide larger and more closely cropped pictures it may assist in identifying as otherwise we'd only be able to provide very general attributions, if any. These are off the top of my head so may not be the most accurate #2 c. 350, probably Constantius Gallus, "Fel Temp Reparatio", Soldier spearing fallen horseman #3 c. 320s, probably Constantine/family, Campgate #5,6 c. 360s-80s?... Emperor dragging captive #7 c. 337, Commemorative of the founding of the City of Rome (issued in conjunction with a coin establishing Constantinople as the new Eastern Capital) #8 c. late 330s - early 340s. Commemorative of the Death of Constantine (depicted veiled). He's riding in a quadriga towards heaven as the hand of God reaches down to him #9 Emperor dragging captive?

boyan Posted December 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 That's fantastic - thank you very much! I tried hard to get better shots but the lens on my camera is terrible with macro... Don't think I'll be able to get a better resolution soon Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertmorison Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 You have a great collection. But your coins are not displayed accurately that's why i cant understand exactly which coin you have.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
