The most famous and sought after of all coins from antiquity include Constantine the Great's SPES PVBLIC coinage. These small bronze coins were issued 321 -328 AD at Constantine's new capital-to-be Constantinopolis. They are the first coins said to carry an unequivocally Christian message from the emperor to his subjects. They are hard to get, and a SPES PVBLIC is usually the star of any numismatic collection. Recently, a number of ingenious forgeries of SPES PVBLIC coins have come on the market. These forgeries have deceived every numismatist that has handled them, and they pose a threat to collectors and researchers alike. This paper examines these forgeries, to date the most skilled known of Late Roman Bronzes, and explains how they were produced. 45 \faddox Street London $01S 2Ph, Aucdons, \hluations and Sales of Ancient,Islamic and World Coins, N{edals, Decorations and lJanknotes Pleasc contact James l{orton, Tom Eden r'lr Steve Llor.c1 h;r adr-ice on buving ot selLing {)r l() be included ()n our mailing List.
