More falling horsemen

Love Late Roman coins from the Rome mint!

Honorius AR Siliqua
Struck circa 407-08 CE
1.26 grams
Rome mint



Constantius II AE-3
355-60 CE
Love the traces of silvering on this one.

Valentinian I AR Siliqua
364-67 CE
Rome mint
One of my personal favorites, probably due to the fact that Emperor Valentinian vacillated between Rome and Mediolanum in the early years of his reign.

It seems to me that when the horseman is off the horse and kneeling on the ground as here, then he is truly "fallen." But while he is still on the horse he is, as John Kent tended to say, "falling." This is a true fallen horseman, and that makes it special. Right?

 

I love the FHs and usually can't help myself when one pops up for sale. These posts are like a good therapy session.

 

I like full size imitations: [see the next post for an image]

 

22-21 mm. 4.20 grams.
This one seems to be a "fallen" horseman as opposed to a "falling" horseman.
Do I detect a Trier mintmark? There is an "A" behind the bust in the later stages at western mints.

 

thank you
