    Reverse is Fel Temp Reparatio, Emperor dragging barbarian from hut. Obverse is hard to place the emperor, but time frame about 330-360 ad.

    Disagree. I see both sides of a Constantine I Soli Invicto Comiti type and the reverse only of a later (Theodosius - Arcadius period or family) victory dragging captive from the Antioch mint.

    You think they are two different coins Doug? I was assuming one coin, and thought the third pic was "emperor dragging captive from hut" type, and thought I saw CONSTA on the obverse. Sorry I missed it that they were 2 coins.

    Huts are always dragging from the left to the right but the small reverse shows the small figure being dragged to the left. I see PVBLICA at right and the cross rho in the left field. The larger one is nearly full legend as I see it (but ugly!!!!). Yes I see two different coins in the three images but can't say what obverse goes with the little one.

    I stand corrected of course. Sorry OP, I was ignoring the first reverse shot and thought the second reverse shot was the same coin just shot at a better angle to see the details. I was wrong.
