<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 8361736, member: 86498&quot;]I have a coin of his dad with a similar looking shield</p><p>Constantine I Silvered Follis 318-319 AD Siscia Obv Bust left helmeted draped and cuirassed holding in his left hand shield emblazoned with charging horseman riding over two prostrate enemies. A spear is carried over his right shoulder Rv&nbsp; Altar flanked by two Victories supporting a shield between them. RIC 56var 2.85 grms 18 mm Photo by W. Hansen</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1484112[/ATTACH]</p><p>This coin proceeds the two coins cited above by a year or two. The charging horseman motif on an Imperial shield is not new. I have seen this device on an aurelianus of Probus from the mints of Rome Serdica and Cyzicus. There are probably others. On a personal note: I bought this coin in a NAC auction in 2011. It was remaindered. I guess no one loved it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
