Message:: [QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2377966, member: 31620"]So I got distracted again and bought a small collection of 10 FEL TEMP Galley and Hut coins because I obviously don't have enough already. Part of the appeal was a couple of what are loosely referred to as "Barbarous imitations" of the galley types. One copies Constans and the other copies Constantius II. Barbarous imitation copying Constans AE2 The legends are both bungled but seem to be copying as follows.
