<p>[QUOTE=&quot;randygeki, post: 2877808, member: 13719&quot;]So this one is a little worn, has a crack in it and I already have&nbsp; a way better example of ric122. However it&#039;s an earlier issue of Antioch (a bit harder to find) but what makes this even more special is the spiral shield carried by the Roman soldier. I&#039;ve seen some with dotted borders, bands/stripes out from the center or across (similar to the British flag) and from various angles (usually from the front) but this is the first spiral shield I&#039;ve seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]689038[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]689037[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Constantius II</p><p>Antioch</p><p>5,24 g / 23 mm</p><p>obverse D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right; </p><p>reverse FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO, Gamma in left, soldier, with spiral shield, spearing Horseman,hair in braids, bearded, reaching back towards soldier</p><p><br /></p><p>ANZ Antioch 122</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my other RIC122</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]689040[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>and an ealier Rome issue with an interest shield.
