<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 3173431, member: 83956&quot;][ATTACH=full]816152[/ATTACH]</p><p>So I’ve been trying to identify this Constantius II Fallen Horseman Fel Temp coin, but the absence of a clear mintmark frustrates identifying such a common type. But I noticed the obverse Epsilon behind the Emperor’s ear. I went to my Guido Bruck (<i>Late Roman Bronze Coinage: An attribution guide for poorly preserved coins</i> ), and, as I read Bruck, this obverse mark occurs only at Cyzicus, which allows me to ID it as RIC VIII Cyzicus 100.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]816160[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]816153[/ATTACH]</p><p>Constantius II</p><p>351-354 A.D.</p><p>AE (bronze) follis or nummus</p><p>18.31 x 20.61 mm.; 4.56 g.; <b>0°</b></p><p>D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG; diademed, draped &amp; cuirassed bust right.</p><p>FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO; soldier advancing left, spearing fallen horseman.</p><p>SMKA</p><p>RIC VIII Cyzicus 100</p><p><br /></p><p>Would anyone care to confirm or correct this ID?</p><p><br /></p><p>Post your unfortunate horsemen from Cyzicus, or coins with a single identifying mark, or whatever you feel is relevant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
