<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 8216858, member: 74863&quot;]Another nice looking fallen horseman of Constantius II. The reverse of this coin gives me the impression that this is an active scene. Many of this type of coin looks lifeless and dull but this one gives me an actual feeling of I’m watching it take place.</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks like the soldier is leaping while the horse is falling. And the big eyed Barbarian is teaching backwards while yelling. The coin has an excellent strike, great surfaces and is well centered.</p><p><br /></p><p>Constantius II, 337-361 AD</p><p>AE Centenionalis, 23mm, 5.3g, 12h</p><p>Heraclea Mint, 351-354 AD</p><p>Obverse: DN CONSTANTIVS PF AVG, pearl-diademed, draped, cuirassed but right.</p><p>Reverse: FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO, helmeted soldier to left, shield on left arm, spearing fallen horseman, shield on ground at right.
