The London Mint of Constantius and
Constantine
by Hugh Cloke and Lee Toone
A comprehensive catalogue and survey of the output of the London mint from AD 296 to 325. From
when Constantius invaded Britain to regain the Britannic Empire back from Allectus to its closure
in 325 when Constantine began to shift his power base to the East, the London mint was responsible
for a vast output of Roman coinage. In The Roman Imperial Coinage (RIC) around 600 types were
listed; the authors of this book have increased the number of known types to 995 and have
illustrated nearly 95% of these with images on plates facing the catalogue tables in sylloge style.
They have also provided a hoard census which lists numbers for each type found in four major
hoards. This enables an objective rarity value to be assigned to each coin type.
Supported with a comprehensive narrative, indices and a concordance with RIC, this will become
the standard reference work on the London mint for years to come.
