<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2259254, member: 31620&quot;]Well by new exploration of the fallen horseman type has brought me to another few coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>As Doug stated in an earlier thread </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have a few of these and have added a couple recently.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Constantius II - AE3 </b></p><p>Obv:– D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, Pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev:– FEL TEMP R-EPARATIO, Helmeted soldier to left, shield on left arm, spearing falling horseman; shield on ground at right. Horseman wears helmet and falls forward reaching towards emperor</p><p>Minted in Constantinople (dot //CONSS). 15th March A.D. 351 - Winter A.D. 354</p><p>Reference:- RIC VIII Constantinople 121 var (Rated rare with R-E reverse legend break)</p><p><br /></p><p>RIC states that these reaching types (FH3) should be bare headed and bearded. There is enough detail on this example to see that the soldier is beardless and wears a Phrygian helmet. This example comes with the supposedly rarely seen R-EP rather than RE-P reverse legend break. Dane notes other examples of FH3 like my example and yet others where the hair is drawn into a topknot?!. So are there multiple sub-types of FH3 for those obsessives amongst us to chase?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_170av_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
