<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 3243916, member: 82549&quot;]Combing through a new lot of ancient coins, I came across this interesting FH:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]849808[/ATTACH] </p><p>AE2 of Constantius II, A.D. 337-361</p><p>Thessalonica mint, A.D. 350 (Co-issue with Vetranio)</p><p>RIC 129</p><p>Obv: D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG - &quot;A&quot; behind pearl-diademed bust</p><p>Rev: FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO - Soldier spearing fallen enemy horseman; horseman sits on ground, facing soldier, raising both hands.</p><p>TSA in exergue; A in field.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve handled dozens, probably hundreds of FHs in my years as a collector, but I never noticed the horseman sitting on the ground before; usually he&#039;s draped over the horse. I&#039;ve no idea why I&#039;ve never noticed this variation before--perhaps it&#039;s unusual, or perhaps I&#039;m just not very observant. Any other Fel Temp collectors have or seen one like this? I&#039;d originally planned to sell it on eBay, but now I&#039;ll probably keep it and add it to my Fel Temp collection. (But first I need to look through my collection and see if I have others that I wasn&#039;t aware of. I should really look at my collection more carefully.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
