Not Another Fallen Horseman Thread!

It's been too long since a new Fallen Horseman thread was made, so I thought I would help out with a fairly new addition I picked up from @Valentinian.

Doubt it's anything special to the specialists, but I just liked the look of it & some of the die breaks.

That’s a pretty nice example @Mat . I had a real devil of a time with these coins when I first started. Everyone looks the same the legends are practically identical and so are the designs.

This is nice. The larger size makes for a better coin than AE3 or AE4. I am a nerd for the mintmarks combinations though.

 

Sweet coin Mat. I'm still in need of a nice fallen horseman.

 

Nice addition Mat. Don't see to many FH here


Actually I only have one FH of Gallus from Antioch

 

Nice indeed. I have two. One reaching, one clutching.

I have a hundred falling horsemen, several Antioch Constantius II, zero Antioch Gallus and no explanation for why they seem scarce.

 

I really like the detail on your reverse @Mat Especially the plume on the helmet.

 

Nice examples, everyone.

Thanks
