Apart from the usual WW" bullets last Thursday I found this AE3 of Crispus Caesar. He was the eldest Son of Constantine 1st. The obverse has his bust left holding a spear & shield. The reverse is an Altar inscribed VOTS XX the coin was minted at London England between A.D. 317 & 326 The second wife of Constantine became jealous of the popularity of Crispus and fabricated evidence of treason against him he was put to death so that her sons would be in line to rule. When Constantine learned the truth he had Fausta thrown into a bath of boiling water. Ruined her day !

And we in the States get excited if we find a 200 yr old coin.......very nice find........and bit of history.
It blows my mind the history you guys have over there and while I comprehend it intellectually, if I was to ever find anything like that it would be the greatest thing ever!!! Don't know how rare they are over there but I think it is a great find and thanks for the history about Crispus.
