[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 3935874, member: 31620"]I haven't bought any FTR for a few months and this wek I have had two arrive. This one has an identical attribution to an example already in my collection, all the way down to the officina. Despite this I thought that there were enough minor differences for meto allow soace for them both. First the description:- [B]Constantius II - AE2 [/B] Obv:– D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, Pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed, bust right Rev:– FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Helmeted soldier to left, shield on left arm, spearing falling horseman; shield on ground at right. Horseman is bearded and falls forward reaching towards emperor Minted in Antioch (Gamma | _ //ANH). A.D. 350-355 Reference:- RIC VIII Antioch 132. Now my new coin:- 5.93 gms. 23.33 mm. 180 degrees [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_170gh_img.jpg[/IMG] and my old coin:- 5.59 gms. 22.30 mm. 180 degrees [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_170eg_img.jpg[/IMG] My new coin has the horseman reaching back and grabbing the spear whereas my old coin has him with his arm bent back towards his face. The new coin has a second ring of dots on the emperor's shield whivh is not present on the other. These minor differences are enough for me to give them both tray space.[/QUOTE]
