<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2151950, member: 19463&quot;]Now that I have given you a few seconds to look at Bruck page 48, how many noticed that my Cross-rho Antioch is not listed and that Only two mints struck these for Constans so Martin&#039;s OP coin is very special.&nbsp; I also see that the OP soldier seems to have his foot on the horizontal calf of one kneeling captive as does my &#039;over officina&#039; coin but my ANA Antioch seems to show the soldier&#039;s foot on the ground in front of that calf.&nbsp; Bruck did not mention that or show a drawing with the foot on leg of kneeling captive at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps we should mention that Mints under control of one emperor favored some types while the other side favored another.&nbsp; Constans is more common with the hut type and the galley type while Constantius II used more of these Captive coins and Falling Horsemen.&nbsp; Constans died in 350 and his favored types were done but Falling Horsemen remained for another decade.&nbsp; Had Constans lived and Constantius died, I&#039;ll be we would have millions of tiny galley coins instead of all those horsemen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
