<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 2560248, member: 77226&quot;]I just recieved one of these I really like. I just wish I had better photos than a quick phone photo!</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s cool that the &quot;A&quot;s on the reverse (and obverse) look like deltas and the &quot;R&quot; in REPARATIO looks like a Pi. Also the horse&#039;s head to the left of the mint mark is nice although it doesn&#039;t show up in the photo well. Anyway, a beefy one at 6.5 grams. ...Ooh! Plus I always laugh at Gallus&#039; sweet blow dry hairdo!</p><p><br /></p><p>In the&nbsp; early 350s there were a couple celators in Antioch and Alexandria that were really talented and well above their peers at other mints. Whenever I see a good FH coin from one of these mints at a good price, I&#039;m always looking to pick it up!</p><p><br /></p><p>J</p><p><br /></p><p>Constantius Gallus, AE 23mm. Obv: DN CONSTANTI-VS NOB CAES, bare-headed, draped, cuirassed bust right Rev: FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO, soldier spearing fallen horseman who is bare-headed and bearded, reaching backwards.
