<p>[QUOTE=&quot;philologus_1, post: 25045963, member: 92212&quot;]Congrats, Victor!&nbsp; I love to see these types. They do not come up for sale often.&nbsp; Good catch! As you so rightly pointed out -- four cool &quot;boxes&quot; can be checked! Your numismatic data led me to see (and correct) an error in the data I had for a very similar coin in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have RIC VIII Aquileia 19<u>6</u>, which at first glance looks like a twin-sister type to your 19<u>5</u>.&nbsp; The two key differences (as you know) are in the obverse legend and the portrait&#039;s personage. The reverses are essentially the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve posted it before but here it is:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1602146[/ATTACH]</p><p>Authority: Constantius II, 352-355</p><p>Mint: Aquileia; struck <i>ca</i>. 352-353</p><p>Denom.: Large AE2; 21.3 x 19.5 mm., 3.48 gr.</p><p>Obv.: D N CONSTANTIVS IVN NOB C; Bust of Constantius Gallus, bareheaded, draped, cuirassed, right; &#039;A&#039; behind bust.</p><p>Rev.: FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO: Soldier, helmeted, draped, cuirassed, advancing left, spearing fallen horseman with r. hand, wearing shield on l. arm; shield on ground; horseman turning to face soldier, raising l. arm; LXXII in l. field, Chi-Rho in center; AQP in exergue.</p><p>Attrib.: RIC VIII Aquileia 196.
