[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 5407844, member: 31620"]Well I have had a slow start to the year so far but have finally had a coin arrive that I can share. I was planning not to get distracted by FEL TEMPs for a bit but it turns out I was completely wrong and my first arrival is a FEL TEMP. [B]Constantius II - AE2[/B] Obv:– D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, Pearl diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right Rev:– FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Helmeted soldier to left, shield on left arm, spearing falling horseman; shield on ground at right. Horseman is bearded and falls forward reachine towards emperor (type FH3) Minted in Antioch (* | _ //ANE). A.D. 348-350. Reference:- RIC VIII Antioch 122 var (unlisted for this officina, listed for A. B. D and Z, which are rated S by RIC) 4.54 g. 24.18 mm. 0 degrees A British metal detecting find. The coin has some surface issues on the obverse and there appears to be a spade mark diagonally from about three o'clock through the cheeck of the emperor. The reverse is however quite pleasing and I didn't have any examples from this earlier issue from Antioch. [ATTACH=full]1234049[/ATTACH] I know that [USER=13719]@randygeki[/USER] has examples from officinas B and Z and a quick look on acsearch turns up examples for B, H, I and Z, wildwinds turns up A, B and Z. So officine E is not unexpected in any way but it is still nice to fill a gap. We can now list officina A, B, D, E, H, Z and I[/QUOTE]
