<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2903971, member: 31620&quot;]Another new purchase. This one had a few reasons to justify the purchase. I found the golden tone that seems to happen on some silvered coins to be very attractive. This one has the rarer R-EP rather than the more normal RE-P. The horseman is clearly bare headed with braids and is bearded. This is different to my other RIC 82.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Constantius II - AE2 </b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:- D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, pearl diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev:- FEL TEMP R-EPARATIO, Helmeted soldier left, shield on left arm, spearing falling horseman; shield at ground to right.
