<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 6515719, member: 26430&quot;]Wow, I really love the LXXII issues (especially the Chi-type, of course!), but have yet to add one myself. Here are three others (including one from Aquileia, a Thessalonica, and Sirmium) with other field/control marks that I find interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>And a little Julian II because his little AE3s don&#039;t get much love. According to Kent (RIC VIII pages 55-67, esp. 66), Julian&#039;s &quot;AE 3 (small)&quot; issues may have had a theoretical weight of 132 coins to the pound (2.46g), compared to the 72-per-lb. marked on the AE 2 types from Aquileia above (I guess they couldn&#039;t fit &quot;CXXXII&quot; on such a small flan!).</p><p><br /></p><p>(As always, if anyone notices an ID mistake I&#039;m always grateful for the heads-up, and, of course, grateful to Dane Kurth for her work cataloging and making her examples accessible, as well as the work of everyone else on the FTR FH series, including several who&#039;ve commented above.)</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Constantius II, Aquileia, RIC 113, AQS· in ex., A behind bust, A in field on rev.</b></p><p>I really enjoy the dramatic field symbols for Aquileia. This one also has a rather distinctive portrait of C-II:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1260498[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Constantius II. Thessalonica, RIC 129, TSЄ in ex., A behind bust, A in field on rev.</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1260500[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Constantius II. Sirmium, RIC 44, BSIRM, Δ behind bust, A beneath horse (·S· left?)</b>.</p><p>This is one&#039;s in rough shape, but I didn&#039;t have an &quot;A&quot; beneath horse yet. (There should also be a &quot;·S·&quot; but I think its off-flan and/or worn flat.)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1260499[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Julian II. Antioch, RIC 189, ANЄI in ex. </b></p><p>Julian II was the last of the primary four (five counting Magnentius) to be named on Fallen Horseman types, all struck after 361, once the flans had been reduced substantially in size from &quot;AE 2 (Large)&quot; to &quot;AE 3 (Small)&quot; (there are also series categorized as &quot;AE 2 (Small)&quot; and &quot;AE 3 (Large)&quot; in RIC VIII, and further variations for different rev. types, rulers, and mints, according to the theoretical number per lb.).</p><p><br /></p><p>Julian&#039;s are all small like this one (16mm, 2.26g, 6h).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1260501[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
