Paris (Forger’s) Dies

Babelon’s Catalogue of BnF Bronzes
Göbl’s photograph

These forger’s dies were created to strike fake Solidi of RIC 104 Constantinus I for Constans Caesar (336/337 CE) and found in Beaumon-sur-Oise.

There should be an image in Gallica, but for the life of me I can’t put in the right key words to get the database to deliver the right record

BUT in someways I’m more interested in this single Gallic Die, because of how the shape of the die reminds me of the Republican die now in Madrid. (old post with photo; another post for context). The Madrid die will be fully published soon…
