<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 3206377, member: 31620&quot;]I am just getting round to processing my latest purchases. Amongst them are a couple FTR Galley coins. They are sufficiently different that I will add them in separate threads.</p><p><br /></p><p>This new coin fills a gap for me in that I didn&#039;t have a FTR Galley from Arles for Constantius II. The reverse legend has some issues from corrosion and potentially back to te strike but one real odditiy is in that it appears to read RE<b>E</b>PARATIO instead of REPARATIO.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Constantius II - AE2</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:– D N CONSTA-NTIVS P F AVG, Pearl diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev:– FEL TEMP - REEPARATIO (sic), Emperor standing left on galley, holding phoenix on globe and labarum; Victory behind, steering galley</p><p>Minted in Arles (//PAR[L]). </p><p>Reference:- RIC VIII Arles 99 </p><p><br /></p><p>Weight 3.62g. 22.65mm. 0 degrees </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_170fw_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my Constans Galley from the same issue.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Constans - AE2</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:- DN CONSTA-NS PF AVG, rosette-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right,</p><p>Rev:- FEL TEMP-REPARATIO, emperor in military dress standing left on galley, holding Phoenix on globe and labarum, Victory sitting at the stern, steering the ship</p><p>Minted in Arles; (//SARL), A.D. 348-350</p><p>Reference:– RIC VIII Arles 100 </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_169as_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
