[QUOTE="lehmansterms, post: 2526647, member: 80804"]The post-408 (Arcadius died in 408) GLORIA ROMANORVM 2-Emperors reverse type shows 2 standing figures. Although they were minted over a longer period of time, they are, in my experience, just a little harder to find - in decent condition, at least - than the earlier 3 standing figures (3-Emperors) GLORIA ROMANORVM reverse which preceded it. In general, this is not a scarce type in either the 2 or 3 emperors version, but compared to, say, GLORIA EXERCITVS 2 soldiers and standard(s - 1 or 2) or fallen horseman FEL TEMP's these are not seen nearly so often, but I wouldn't call them "scarce" by any rational measure. In the case of this coin, the obverse is below average and the reverse a little above average in terms of the condition in which they tend to be found. There are some minor varieties with them holding various objects between them or not holding anything - yours seems to have a small globe they are holding - but it's not anything to consider as a rare or even scarce variety, just an incidental feature of the type.[/QUOTE]
