Finally some new falling horseman.

Bit of a dry spell lately but I got these both cheap.

The first, a nice 15mm FH from Antioch.

Constantius II

D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right; FEL TEMP-REPARATIO, soldier spearing Horseman,hair in braids, bearded, clutching, AN epsilon I
Antioch Antioch 188

The other, a pretty worn Gallus, I got because of the shield design.

Constantius Gallus
DN FL CL CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES, Bareheaded, draped and cuirassed bust right./ FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO, soldier standing left, spearing a fallen horseman wearing a Phrygian helmet, reaching back , Gamma left,dot SMKS in ex

I really like the reverse of that coin

 

Love the top one's patina, horseman's beard and looks. The second one has a cool shield.

 

nice...esp. that 1st one!..

 

So many shields... Tarpeia´s Syndrome detected...

 

More nice pick ups, congrats.

 

Cool stuff Randy, I really like the three dot shield pattern, or maybe two dots with a central boss.

 

LOL

@randygeki , you need to find THIS design on a shield:

Thanks all!

Haha

I’d say 2 dots and a shield boss.

 

Good catches. How do they fit in to your collection? Are they duplicates or filling a hole?

 

Very nice Horsemen, Randy!

 

I have 2 other ric 188 and 1 other ric 97 but all have different officina so no duplicates to me . I'd be ok with just 1 of each but the 188 was really nice (and cheap) and the 97 has a shield type that I didn't have an example of.

Im lookin

 

Nice additions Randy!

 

@randygeki is the falling horseman whisperer.
