Comment
This type of coin (with no mark between the two stars) is rare for the second dispensary of the Arles workshop; Philippe Ferrando's book Les Monnaies d'Arles lists only seven examples.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Rome (VRBS ROMA; Arelate) coin is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great, who ruled from 306 to 337 AD. This was a significant period in Roman history, as Constantine oversaw many reforms and changes, including the establishment of Christianity as the dominant religion of the empire. The coin's design and imagery likely reflect the political and cultural influences of the time.
