[QUOTE="RaceBannon, post: 1874581, member: 25357"]Very nice coin Doug. I like the detail in the hair on the portrait. I also find the roman numeral marking on the reverse and its significance very interesting. I have one Constantius Gallus fallen horseman. No numbers on this one. But there is some kind of mark in the field between the soldier and the horseman located roughly where the numerals are on your example. I've often wondered what its significance is. Maybe a star or officina letter of some kind?
