<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24612993, member: 26430&quot;]Here&#039;s a similar type of Constantine saluting from horseback. ADVENTVS types became a staple of Roman Imperial coinage in the third century (though there were scattered earlier issues) [see [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER]&#039;s <a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/PROFECTIO/ADVENTVS.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/PROFECTIO/ADVENTVS.html" rel="nofollow">page on them</a>], but I believe Probus was first to produce the design with a captive under the horse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly, as far as I know, the only other rulers to use the captive-Adventvs were all in London: Allectus, Carausius, and Constantine.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1564465[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="6"><i><b>NEXT</b>:</i> <i>Any London mint coin (ruler &amp; type of your choice)</i></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
