<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2171877, member: 19463&quot;]The SPES standing figure was what replaced the Falling Horseman type near the end of Constantius II&#039;s reign.&nbsp; Julian trashed the type as soon as he was Augustus and gave us the coinage reform that started with the big bulls and went down to the Vota types that have the fancy portraits.&nbsp; To most collectors, the SPES is the least appealing coin of the period and I have to admit that some guy standing there on a poorly made tiny coin hardly compares to the coins before and after. All these coins are easily found in junky condition; none are common in really high grade.</p><p>4 Julians:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]419498[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]419494[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]419495[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]419496[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
