<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2992483, member: 31620&quot;]I have only added two Horseman recently and neither is worthy of their own threads so I will piggyback on this one to share them (sorry [USER=13719]@randygeki[/USER]).</p><p><br /></p><p>The first has a small flan and worn dies. Nothing much going for it other than it&#039;s a surviver looking for a home.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Constantius II - AE2</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:– D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, Pearl diademed, draped &amp; cuirassed bust right,</p><p>Rev:– FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Helmeted soldier left, shield on left arm, spearing falling horseman; shield at ground to right. Horseman turns to face the soldier, and reaches his left arm up towards him. He is bare headed and bearded</p><p>Minted in Antioch (E | _ /ANZ). 350-355 AD.</p><p>Reference:- RIC VIII Antioch 144</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_170fg_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The second is a RIC gap for me. It&#039;s a very common Siscia. The contrasting patination is a distraction.It almost looks as though there was something (maybe a smaller coin) protecting the surfaces on the obverse from the elements that changed the rest of the coin to a thick green.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Constantius II - AE3</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:– D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, Pearl diademed, draped &amp; cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev:– FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Helmeted soldier to left, shield on left arm, spearing falling horseman; shield on ground at right.
