<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2645992, member: 19463&quot;]In this case you had all the legend needed to ID the coin.&nbsp; A bare head portrait on a falling horseman coin means the coin is either Constantius Gallus or Julian II.&nbsp; You have the letters IVN before NOB C on the obverse right which means it has to be the junior Constantius who we call Gallus. </p><p><br /></p><p>Below is a different Gallus coin (no II in reverse field) from Nicomedia mint (SMNA) with a good example of a horseman being stabbed on a &#039;bad hair day&#039;.&nbsp; There are people very interested in barbarian clothing and hair on these coins.&nbsp; It appears that the tribes can be IDed based on these details.&nbsp; I am not up on the fine points of this ongoing study but a lot has come out since RIC mentioned a few of the details.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]584564[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
