[fortes fortuna juvat]

Coins of the Constantinian era are rather common today. I probably own a hundred or more of them. Still, in the condition shown, they are probably worth $20-$50 each.

Have any in decent condition you’d be willing to sell?

Constantine the Luke Warm

[OldWarBaby]

You might be confusing him with Bidum the Halfaxxed? His coin is a flattened gumball.

[Political Junkie Too]

Constantine the Michael buried his stash under room 222.

I sell locally at an antique mall, but don’t do mail order. If you are interested, check out eBay. But, beware, there are a good many fakes sold as the real item on eBay. For a more reliable source, try VCoins, which is a resource for a number of legit sellers. Here is a link to Constantinian era coins:

That would be CCXXII..................

[null and void]

And you couldn't find Swiss chocolate, Swiss watches, or Swiss army knives anywhere in Switzerland.

You can't find Swiss cheese in Switzerland to this very day.

[[Was there a Constantine the Mediocre?..............]]

He was done in by Constantine the little bit better

“....a clay pot filled with 1,290 coins.”

Holy cow.

His Dad...he was a so-so Caesar...

[Repeal The 17th]

“...A.D. not C.E...”
-
I simply read “C.E.” as Christian Era and
“B.C.E.” as Before Christian Era.

Where were Constantine the Loser and Constantine the Inferior on the family tree?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I have their relative Constantinitus in my head all the time.

I worked in a pawnshop for a brief period. A very large fellow with an obvious mental defect wandered in and offered me a “1000 Caret opal” that he had at home. When I didn’t show much interest he offered to bring in his uncirculated, 2000 year-old Roman Coin. It was a fun job.

No Swiss cheese? Sounds like someone is orchestrating an elaborate disinformation campaign. Better get Jankowicz on it...
