Hanniballianus

Rex Regum 335 – 337

One of Constantine 's relatives, Hanniballianus was given domain of the Roman province of Pontica and given the unusual title of King. He ruled for two years until shortly after his father 's death at which time a family conspiracy headed by Constantine II and Constantius II eliminated him as well as several other family members.

While not great rarities, the AE3 's of this ruler are fairly expensive and especially so in high grades. Expect around $100 for a marginally preserved coin and prices go up rather quickly from there. With patience and a bit of luck $300-$500 should score a nice one.

All known coins appear to share one reverse and precious metal denominations are not known nor are likely to be discovered.
