<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3045306, member: 19463"]There are some of us who refuse to use the term 'Fallen Horseman'. You might argue that te FH2 seated type shows completion but the others show the fall inprogress making the term 'Falling' more appropriate. There was a time that we pointed fingers and corrected such things but lately there seems to be more important ways to satisfy our needs to argue so we don't bother anymore. Kent used Falling in his volume VIII of RIC and also with Carson and Hill in LRBC. Failmezger used Falling in his book on Late Roman Bronze Coins. Dealers I believe should know better have been inconsistent on the matter. I do not know who decided they were better than these guys and started the Fallen rot. I will continue to use Falling. Use what you want and don't worry about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
