Unique ID: FASAM-CCD811
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published 
Copper-alloy nummus, probably of Constantine I (AD 307-337), probably dating to c. AD 313-317 (Reece Period 15). The given description is: Obverse: ?CONSTANTINVS MAX AVG; Laureate head / bust right. Reverse: ?GENIO POP ROM, Genius standing left holding [ ] in left hand. Mintmark unclear. This appears to be a nummus dating to c. AD 313-317. The GENIO POP ROM type normally appears on coins of Licinius I, and it is possibe that this is in fact a SOLI INVICTO COMITI type of Constantine depicting Sol.
