Additional information

Barbarous imitations struck in the name of Crispus present a genuine attribution puzzle — Crispus was executed by his father Constantine I in 326 AD, which gives these pieces a terminus post quem for the prototype but leaves the copying activity itself difficult to date with precision. Germanic workshops were still producing imitations of his types well into the late fourth century, long after the prototype coinage had ceased.
