<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2715820, member: 31620"]It is time for me to inflict another FH on you. This one is quite a small FH at just over 16mm but does show how much detail they were still able to cram in to such a small die. When the die gets this small we can see that they are being pushed to their limits on getting the detail in. They have shortened the horse to having a rump to the right of the horseman and a thick nech and head to the left.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Constantius Gallus - AE3/4</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Obv:– DN FL CL CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES, Bare, bust draped and cuirassed right</p><p>Rev:– FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Soldier spearing fallen horseman, who is bare headed, reaching back towards the emperor (Rider with hair straight up, no beard, reaching (hair type not in RIC))</p><p>Minted in Nicomedia (//SMN Delta),</p><p>Reference:– RIC VIII Nicomedia 97 var (hairstyle/headwear)</p><p><br /></p><p>Ex Lanz.
