<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2582552, member: 31620&quot;]I have recently obtained this AE3 of Constantius Gallus from Siscia which seems to be a bit of an oddity.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is an AE3.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:– DN CONSTANTIVS IVN NOB C, Bare, bust draped and cuirassed right; A behind bust</p><p>Rev:– FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Soldier spearing fallen horseman, who is wearing a Phrygian cap, reaching backwards</p><p>Minted in Siscia (// BSIS),</p><p>Reference:– It would appear to be unlisted unless I am missing something.</p><p>It measures 19.20 mm and weighs 2.44 gms</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_175j_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The early issues from Siscia with the A behind the bust measure in at 21-22. These issues seem to have attributes (e.g. III) in the left field on the reverse or additional attributes in the exe. (e.g. starts, crescents and dots). The horseman always seems to be bare headed for these issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>The later issues where the a behind the bust is lost drop in size to 18-19 mm. These drop these attributes with just ASIS in exe or ASIS Retrograde Z in exe (A here being the various workshops). The horseman always seems to wear a Phrygian cap for these issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>My coin below doesn&#039;t seem to fint into either of these mixing the bust from the earlier issues and a reverse from the later issues whilst being cloaser to the the size of the later issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>What am I missing?</p><p><br /></p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
