[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 3169425, member: 83956"]I think I’ve asked this question in passing in another thread, but I wanted to start a dedicated thread to this query: Is it possible to get all five FEL TEMP REPARATIO series coins from a single mint for the same Emperor? The FEL TEMP series of 348 - 350 A.D. consists of five reverse types: 1. “Barbarian and hut” 2. Phoenix on globe 3. Two captives 4. Emperor on galley 5. Fallen horseman These types are primarily associated with Constans and Constantius II. Just skimming through Wildwinds this afternoon, I noticed that for Constantius II, Antioch struck the phoenix, two captives, and fallen horseman issues, but I do not think the barbarian/hut and galley coins were struck there for him. (I know that the hut coin was struck for Constans at Antioch, but not for his brother.) Similarly, Aquileia struck hut, captives, and horseman coins, but not phoenix and galley coins. If one wanted to get all five issues from the same city, would one have to mix and match Emperors? [ATTACH=full]815080[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
