[QUOTE="lehmansterms, post: 3177709, member: 80804"]Of course, the preceding comment was limited to types of FEL TEMP's. That - even as common as they seem - is only one segment of a virtual galaxy of types of "LRB's" produced in the Constantinian era. The original coin - the VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP, 2 Victorys holding vota on shield, is one of the most widely copied types of the era with unofficial mint issues nearly equaling the numbers of official pieces surviving. It would be far too long a comment and take far too long to type for me to try to enumerate all the types of 4th century LRB's, but suffice it to say that if you think all LRB's are fallen horseman majorinae you will discover that they are pretty much just the tip - albeit a mighty tip - of the iceberg. If you have no other reference resources you can come pretty close to seeing an exhaustive list of LRB types in the listings of a volume like "Handbook of Roman Imperial Coins" by David Van Meter. Available new in cardcover for $25-$30 and probably cheaper used, too, if you can find one.[/QUOTE]
