"Silvered"
AE follis of Constantius I (Constantine the great's father) as Caesar
c. 295-305 A.D. The Obverse inscription is (probably) [FL VAL] CONSTANTIVS
NOB C - his laureate and cuirassed bust right. The reverse inscription
is GENIO POPVLI ROMANI "(To) the genius (spirit) of the Roman People"
with Genius standing left holding a patera in his right hand and a cornucopia
in his left. Unfortunately, I can't make out the mintmark - in the exergual
space on reverse - under the "ground line" upon which Genius
stands - so I can't give you a definitive attribution - if you can make
out letters in this area, let me know and I'll give you RIC # and exact
dates. 'The series in general is universal, ie: this type was struck at all mints in the empire for several years during a general re-tooling of the money system - so in great numbers, but certain officinae at certain mints striking for certain personages may be considered common, scarce or rare. It's certainly "important" in its greater British context since Constantius' victories in the area were instrumental in getting him promoted to the Tetrarchy in the first place, and by extension, his son Constantine the Great and his whole brood who would dominate the scene for the next 50 ' Information
