Fausta, Wife of Constantine I. AE 3, Reduced Follis; Fausta, Wife of Constantine I; Reduced Follis, Antioch, 326 AD, 3.27g. RIC-76 corr., officina H=8 (r4); C-7 (2 Fr.). Obv: FLAV MAX - FAVSTA AVG Bust draped r., wearing pearl necklace. Rx: SALVS REI - PVBLICAE Empress, veiled, standing l. holding two infants, .SMANTH in exergue. RIC apparently fails to indicate that the mintmark on nos. 76-77 is SMANTA preceded by a pellet, not the same with pellet in field. According to Voetter's Gerin catalogue, p. 49, there are no Antioch bronzes of Fausta with pellet in field, but with pellet before mintmark they do exist, although RIC does not record them unless nos. 76-77 were meant to be them. . aEF
