About the AE2
AE2 is a modern size classification for late Roman bronze coins measuring 21–25mm in diameter. This class includes the reduced folles and nummi of the Constantinian and Valentinianic periods. The classification is widely used in RIC and dealer catalogs when the ancient denomination name is debated.
About the Londinium Mint
The Londinium mint (modern London) operated intermittently from Carausius through the early fourth century. Its output was relatively small compared to continental mints, making London-mint coins scarcer.
