The location of the Juillac hoard on the map is incorrect. The hoard was found just to the west of Toulouse much further south. The correct location designated by the blue star in the detail image above was created by the Juillac team.

Insert additional note to Fig.4 in footnote 17. See also CNG 582 lot 710 where the same reverse die is used on a similar coin of Diocletian ex Lyne, ex Spink.

Insert figure 13 with the following text above:

A clearly irregular coin of Crispus based on a Trier type but given away by the idiosyncratic portrait, poor lettering and overall style. Guy Braun collection (18.50x19.12 mm 2.36g).

 

Page 102

1.03.005 (2)  An example from the Rauceby hoard, weighing 9.07g, in Leu 36 lot 1139. Obverse die link to plate coin.  Although this coin type is not recorded in Eleanor Ghey's catalogue of the Rauceby hoard, the Leu catalogue cites “Ghey p. 236, 14.1 corr. (this coin)” a coin which weighs 9.12g uncleaned. Lars Ruten of Leu confirmed, “The piece undoubtedly comes from the Rauceby Hoard - it was submitted to us by the buyer of the hoard as part of it”. The numbers in the hoard census table should be adjusted to list four examples of 1.03.001 and one example  of  1.03.005.

4.04.000.5   IMP SEVERVS PIVS FELIX IN AVG   Bust B3. CNG 580 lot 650 (25.5 mm 10.20g 6h) ex Malcolm Lyne collection, ex Coin Galleries (New York) 29 May 1989.

Page 144 and 308

4.04.006.5   CONSTANTINVS NOBILISSIM C   Bust B3.  Found by a detectorist in the Selby, North Yorkshire area (27.9 mm 8.70g 6h) PAS SWYOR-3FF057. A new obverse legend ending for Constantine the Great although previously known for Severus (4.02.018) and for Maximinus (4.03.026) 

Page 152

5.03.003   (add to footnote): 5.03.003 (2) ROMA XIII Lot 1260 (27.01 x 28.51mm 6.99 g). Mistakenly omitted from LMCC II although it had appeared in Supplement No. 1 to LMCC I, this example features bust variety B2.2, a particularly ornate cuirass. See LMCC II, pp 90-91 for definitions of bust sub-types. Image courtesy of ROMA Numismatics. Constantine held his first consulship in AD 307. It would be appropriate for him to celebrate this on a coin of the second reduction which also features designs celebrating his new alliance with Maximian and shortly before he begins using the title Augustus on his coinage. None of the examples of 5.03.003 in the census hoards feature a consular cuirass.

5.03.004.5   FL VAL CONSTANTINVS NOB C   Bust B5. (23mm circle of dots 7.56g) bust B5. Ex Dimarco. This form of elaborate drapery is analogous to the consular types used on early coins of the first tetrarchy (see Figure 15, p. 34, and 1.03.004 example 2, on p. 103). This is a more fully developed consular cuirass than that featured on the second example of 5.03.003 noted above.

Correct the reverse description for 5.04.011 and 012 to read: PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS Prince standing facing, head left, in military dress, holding standard in each hand.

Page 169

6.04.001 (2)   This coin was subsequently sold at CNG 129 lot 571 ex Malcolm Lyne collection. 

Page 178

7.03.022 (3)   This example was offered for sale by London Ancient Coins on their VCoins site in September 2025 (21mm 4.07g 6h). Struck from the same dies as the first LMCC plate coin.

Page 182

7.03.045 (2)   This example is the BoW hoard coin which was subsequently offered for sale by London Ancient Coins on their VCoins site in 2025 (21mm 4.91g 6h). Struck from different dies to the LMCC plate coin. An associated ticket gives a later find date than the main hoard in 1974 and it is recorded in Burge 1987 as #17. 

 

7.03.045.5   CONSTANTINVS AVG   B2 (w) left. CNG 564 Lot 668 (22mm 4.92 g, 6h)  ex Malcolm Lyne collection, ex Galata (June 1988). 

7.03.058 (3)  CNG 594 lot 501  (24mm 4.74 g 6h) ex Malcolm Lyne collection ex Mike Vosper. This is the example recorded in the notes on page 182 as "a further example with flying Victory in a UK private collection from the same obverse die but a different reverse die".

7.05.003 (this coin updated) now Steve Thomas collection (22.5mm, 4.57 g, 7h) ex CNG E-auction 564 lot 671 ex Malcolm Lyne ex Vogelaar.

7.05.004.5   CONSTANTIVS P F AVG   Bust B5 (t) left. CNG 564 lot 672 (22.5 mm 3.77 g 6h) ex Malcolm Lyne collection ex Baldwins (19/10/99), now Paul James collection.

Page 194

7.06.002   The footnote to this type refers to an example known with a missing star. These images show this coin and another that has recently come to light. Both struck from the same obverse and reverse dies. They are either a die engraver's error or the result of a clogged die. It is fanciful to suggest that they might be a new type.

7.06.002 (2)   Private collection (23.3 mm 4.23 g 6h).

7.06.002 (3)   CNG 564 lot 666 (22 mm 4.65 g 6h) ex Malcolm Lyne ex Vogelaar miscatalogued as RML 518 forthcoming. 

7.06.009   This type is recorded but not illustrated in our second edition. Bertolami E-Auction 50 lot 768 on 10th December 2017 (23 mm 4.72 g 6h) misattributed as RIC 220.

Page 196

7.07.016   This reference coin was later sold at CNG 564 lot 675 ex Lyne with a mistaken correction. Misled by the RML reference, CNG stated, "RML 467 (forthcoming); C&T 7.07.016 corr. (not draped)". Our entry clearly refers to additional drapery on the reverse, not on the obverse bust. Our entry remains correct.

Page 246

8.10.007 (2)   Phil Edmonds collection (19mm 3.36g 6h). A BoW later site find and from the same obverse die as BoW #1453. An associated ticket gives a later find date than the main hoard in 1971 and it is recorded in Burge 1987 as #51.

9.06.017 (2)   An example with a wolf and twins design on the shield. Richard Demarco collection (20 mm 2.85 g).

9.06.017 (3)   A second example with a wolf and twins design on the shield from the same dies. Again Richard Demarco collection (19 mm 3.23 g 6h) ex Leu Web Auction 34 lot 3317 (7th July 2025).

9.06.028 [corr. ?]   Constantinvs  IVN N C   Bust C3 (s) left. CNG 580 lot 730 (20.5mm, 3.01 g, 6h) ex Malcolm Lyne collection. CNG describe it thus:

"Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust left, raising hand / Banded globe set upon altar inscribed VOT/IS/ XX in three lines; three stars above; F|B//PLON. RIC VII 260 corr. (bust type); RML 1100 corr. (same); C&T 9.06.028 corr. (same); CNG 47, 2032."

CNG add the following note:

"From the few clear examples of this issue with available illustrations, namely, this coin and the CNG 47 example, it is this cataloger’s perspective that this bust type is indeed radiate, draped, and cuirassed. Given that the Lanz 154, 514 example was heavily tooled, the Shrewsbury example uncleaned, and the Vienna example without an illustration, much confusion has arisen regarding this bust type. However, it does not appear that this bust is trabeate, nor is an item held in Constantine’s left hand (e.g. a globe or mappa). The left shoulder has, it would appear, decorative drapery and the pteryges of a cuirass."
