<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gao, post: 1571376, member: 19409&quot;]Yeah, Constantine and his immediate successors (Constans, Constantius II, and Constantine II) and maybe Valens and Valentinian are your best bet in your price range. In particular, given your interest in battles, you might be interested in the fallen horseman type that was primarily produced by Constantius II. It depicts a Roman soldier about to stab a barbarian who is either on a horse that&#039;s falling over or on the ground next to a horse. This image is surrounded by the words &quot;FEL TEMP REPARATIO&quot; which is a rough equivalent of &quot;Happy days are here again.&quot; These coins are some of the most common ancient coins available, so you should be able to find a decent one in your price range.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for where to look for cheap coins like this, I&#039;d suggest <a href="http://www.vcoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vcoins.com" rel="nofollow">VCoins</a>, which is a collection of dealers that conventiently allows you to search through by price range, and <a href="http://bargainbinancients.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://bargainbinancients.com" rel="nofollow">Bargain Bin Ancients</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>And for information on ancient coins, <a href="http://dougsmith.ancients.info" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://dougsmith.ancients.info" rel="nofollow">Doug Smith&#039;s site</a> is always my first recommendation, but you also might want to check out <a href="http://forumancientcoins.com/moonmoth/ancientcoins.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forumancientcoins.com/moonmoth/ancientcoins.html" rel="nofollow">What I Like About Ancient Coins</a>.
