<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3145404, member: 19463&quot;]Those are very interesting overstrikes! This also explains a bit of my preference for coins of Constantine struck by mints controlled by Licinius (one was shown above in post #6) and for Licinius in mints controlled by Constantine.&nbsp; I have not made an in-depth study of the matter but the fact seems clear that coins struck during the period we call Late Roman rarely circulated for a long time due to changing standards while hoard evidence from the early empire shows some coins stayed around for over a century.&nbsp; I would enjoy a summary of this situation if anyone has it at hand.&nbsp; For example, were all two soldiers, two standards coins pulled or did they circulate besides the two soldiers, one standard version?&nbsp; Did Falling Horsemen with A in the reverse field circulate with those with Γ?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>After the failure of the three denomination FTR system, I have one second tier (soldier/captives) coin that was upgraded to a Falling Horseman but this is not commonly seen.&nbsp; Is there a later FH of AE3 size overstruck on a Phoenix from the first period?&nbsp; I would love to have that one. </p><p><br /></p><p>Constantius Gallus FH3 struck on a Constantius II soldier with two captives from Aquileia:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]804759[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
