I've been looking for an emperor-on-horseback FEL TEMP for years bu have yet to find one. Congratulations on a great score.
Here's three of Constantine, the first with a different inscription but the same imagery as the OP: [IMG] Ticinum mint, A.D. 306 RIC 75 Obv:...
Considering how and with what else it was acquired, along with the fact that the obverse is in very nice shape but the reverse is blank, I'd agree...
Yes. That's what I meant. I asked because I sold him a couple of coins via eBay, and I wondered if any of them were included in this sale. One...

Well, he looks a bit smug to me.
I'm trying to make sense of the reverse inscription on the OP. First of all, I don't see it anywhere in the photo. Where is it? Second, what does...
