[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 3095306, member: 93702"]Spent an enjoyable evening attributing some of my inexpensive LRBs. This one was a lot of fun. Common, extremely inexpensive and frankly not a great example of the type, but I certainly love this coin. The reverse is amazing to me. The amount of symbolism on display is great and how it was ever decided to fit so much onto one reverse I will never know. [ATTACH=full]782036[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]782037[/ATTACH] Obv: DN CONSTA-NS PF AVG, laurel and rosette-diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right. Rev: FEL TEMP-REPARATIO, Emperor in military dress standing on galley moving left, holding wreath-bearing Victory on globe, and standard with chi-rho on banner. Victory sitting at the stern,steering the ship. A in left field. Mintmark AQT dot. RIC VIII Aquileia 118 21.6mm 3.71g If anyone has a nicer example I would love to see it.. or any coin with a busy reverse![/QUOTE]
